A second and then a third version of tapes was released, each version
doing more to damage the image of the MP and his right-wing party and
each version showing that the minister acted ethically and that he
acted unethically (though, he was a fool for talking to such an MP
with a dirty past (it wasn't the first time this guy did something as
unethical as trying to bait someone else on tape)).
