The plural possessive which sinks Malcolm Turnbull

In an effort to extricate himself from a political debacle of his own making Liberal Party Leader Malcolm Turnbull released a series of emails over the last few days.
What is very telling in
the email above is the use by disgraced public servant Gordon Grech of the term "we".
It points to longer contact than Turnbull admits to when it comes to details of the OzCar project and a comfortable relationship between both parties to the correspondence.
Big Mal
claims he was duped, but this "we" clearly shows that he was already in a Conspiracy of the Willing.
Neither Turnbull or Senator Abetz are seen as credible in their protestations of innocence since Grech was exposed as a probable long-term Coalition mole within Treasury.
Time for both to do their party a favour and resign?
Otherwise Utegate will be a monkey on the party's back right through to the next federal election.
