There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they knew even before the start of the season that they would be safe. The ARU have bankrolled the Rebels from the word go to the tune of many millions of dollars and were never ever going to let them go. Not sure what the sham was all for. Presumably to try and make it look kosher. Hopefully we'll hear more about the sordid goings on when the Senate releases its final report.
