The bombshell report about the alleged misuse of electoral allowances in the WA Parliament may well have some current and former MPs quaking in their boots amid warnings the wide-ranging investigation is ongoing.

The report from WA's Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) catalogued a range of headline-grabbing examples of "misconduct' by former Upper House Liberal MP Phil Edman, including spending his taxpayer-funded $78,000 annual electoral allowance on strippers, travel to meet women for sex and his personal yacht.

Some of Phil Edman's expenses highlighted by the CCC: TRAVEL A five-day all-expenses trip to Melbourne , a restaurant meal and personal bills

A five-day , a restaurant meal and personal bills A trip to Darwin to meet a woman known as Ms Y in 2014 — business-class airfare of $2,626, accommodation costs at the Sky City Casino totalling $4,468 and a $294 dinner

His claims included reimbursement for a helicopter trip and hotel accommodation with Ms X A three-day trip to South Australia in 2016 referred to as a "Penfolds Wine Tour" — He travelled with two other MPs.

But it also revealed that a couple of the so-called "official trips" he took, including one to South Australia that was referred to as "Penfolds Wine Tour", were with other Upper House members.

Mr Edman insisted during his evidence to secret hearings that it was a work trip, to "have a look at their infrastructure … and the councils".

But the CCC rejected his claims, finding that it was "a private trip".

In part it came to that conclusion thanks to Mr Edman's own words in conversations he had with colleagues, including those who accompanied him that were secretly recorded.

"I know we claimed it, I know we bloody claimed, we would have claimed the airfares or something on it uhm," he said according to the report.

"And [name redacted] should be shitting himself as well."

The laptop that could 'bury a lot of people'

But perhaps more ominous for Mr Edman's former colleagues were conversations about the CCC seizing a laptop during raid of his business and home.

The CCC noted the "concerns" he expressed over the laptop were not because of the disclosure of any material that may be subject to parliamentary privilege, but because its contents could portray members, both current and former, in an "unflattering light".

The report said while Mr Edman enlisted a former MP and another Liberal Party official to contact various sitting members, he also made several calls himself.

One was made in August to a former Legislative Council member.

"I just wanted to send a warning to [name redacted] that they have got the MP, my MP, computer … which stores everything," he was recorded saying.

"It's got everything, all the emails between all of us, Black Hand Gang members, it's got the video …"

In September he again spoke to a former colleague in a conversation that was recorded.

"Even though they've managed to get the computer back from the CCC, there's a back-up drive," he said.

"'Cause the back-up drive has still got all the videos and all the other fun-loving stuff on there as well."

Finally, on the same day, he spoke to a person described in the report as a businessman.

"And there's enough stuff on that f***en' computer to bury f***en' a lot of people and ruin their political careers forever," he said.

"There's videos and pictures and lots of lovely little collections that I've got on there."

The CCC no longer has the laptop as it was handed back to the Legislative Council after it started legal proceedings over the CCC’s access to information belonging to MPs, which it claimed was privileged.

Mr Edman quit the Liberal Party just hours after the report was released yesterday, after WA leader Liza Harvey began the process of expelling him.

But his presence may continue to be felt for some time to come.
