Why do you think Peter Dutton apologized?
Because on reflection he realized the comment was wrong and inappropiate (obviously he would have sent texts to
all of the original recipients as well as the reporter to beg their forgiveness)
or because he merely sent the text to the wrong person but stands by his comments.
No need to wait for my opinion ...
He apologized because his schoolboy ways/thoughts were made public which in turn highlights his core insincerity

When trying to rebuild trust—it helps to give the right type of apology at the right time.
Unfortunately, most people do not know how to apologize or say "I am sorry."
Typically, people make the mistake of apologizing too quickly.
People say "I am sorry" at the moment they are caught in a lie or caught doing something wrong.
Apologizing too quickly—especially when in trouble often comes across as being insincere.
It looks like you are saying "I’m sorry" as a means of appeasing a partner.
It does not come across a thoughtful or meaningful gesture.
Rather it looks like you are simply trying to protect yourself from harm.
