Summary
Icac is zeroing in on the NSW Liberal party’s Reformers faction, probing claims they accepted illegal donations from banned donors like developers and hoteliers—and possibly acted as proxies for a fugitive builder. Motivated by a backlash against “woke” moderates, the group sought to install conservative candidates aligned with their Catholic values, including restrictions on abortion and gender education. A major hotelier reportedly funneled $165K to push these agendas, while another $260K payment from Catholic Schools NSW raises eyebrows. Ties to Opus Dei and a conservative Catholic school are under scrutiny, and though some deny allegations—including a $15K gift from federal MP Angus Taylor—the investigation is far from over and promises explosive revelations.
