Tony Abbott's parliamentary secretary doesn't think an inquiry into iron ore would have found the truth of what is happening with resources pricing.
West Australian Liberal Christian Porter has blasted the work of parliamentary committees, saying he's glad the government won't ask one to look at iron ore prices - as some crossbench senators and Fortescue metals boss Andrew Forrest wanted - because they're "not very good bodies at finding the truth of a situation".
"What passes for evidence before parliamentary committees is largely hearsay and certainly just views and opinions layered on each other," Mr Porter told Network Ten on Sunday.
Independent senator Jacqui Lambie believes there should be an inquiry into the iron ore sector for transparency because she is concerned about the government's apparent change of mind to hold one.
"Are these decisions coming back to the political funding, so let's have a look," she told Sky News.
