The Victorian Parliament's powerful privileges committee has found independent MP Geoff Shaw misused his parliamentary entitlements but was not in contempt of Parliament.
The report said Mr Shaw should repay more than $6,500 over the misuse of his taxpayer-funded car, but found it was "not wilful".
He has has already repaid around $1,200.
The committee said the Frankston MP did contravene the code of conduct for MPs but he will not face any further penalty.
On the way into Parliament today Mr Shaw rubbished the findings, calling them a pathetic waste of time and public money.
"The police have gone through it and the courts have gone through it," he said.
"I've come out clean and these nuff-nuffs in there think they can just sit there and waste public money.
"I don't care about the privileges committee.
"They mean nothing to me. They've shown themselves to break their own rules by leaking to the media constantly."
Mr Shaw called the process "tainted".
"It's a political set-up," he said.
"They're picking on me because I'm an independent and this should have been finished when the police finished their [investigation] more than six months ago."
He said it would be laughable if he was fined.
