Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Campbell absolutely misled the ERC, but did it so obviously they should have seen through; except that she was telling them what they wanted to hear. So, she is 'too stupid' but the Minister and the other ERC members were willfully blind to her serious corruption. They were also seriously corrupt. πŸ™„

Secondly, if Mr Morrison had suspected the NPP was misleading, I
think it probable that the last thing he would have done was refrain
from speaking up in the hope of OCI being adopted without further
delay or investigation. For, as a member of parliament and minister
of many years standing, he would almost certainly have foreseen
that, were he to do so, there would be a high chance of the
deception soon being discovered and of his and his government’s
subjection to the inevitably adverse political consequences that
would follow. Rather than being a reason to suspect a dishonest
failure to inquire, the fact that Mr Morrison did not make further
inquiries appears more probably consistent with him not having
perceived there was a need to do so.

"We don't believe Morrison would act dishonestly, because he was a member of parliament for many years" is a very funny argument. I'll give them that

In the present context, however, of an investigation into allegations
of corrupt conduct, we are not so much concerned with Diceyan
theory of ministerial accountability and Cabinet solidarity as with
personal obligations of honesty and good faith. Thus, although
Mr Morrison may have been responsible to Cabinet for the failings of
DSS – in particular for DSS’ failings in not preventing the
shortcomings of the NPP and checklist – it by no means necessarily
follows that Mr Morrison was personally at fault for not detecting the
failings of DSS or that he set out to act dishonestly or in bad faith.
The question of any personal shortcoming requires consideration of
the system and circumstances of ERC’s operation at the time of its
adoption of the NPP.

The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary

NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault"

If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?
