## Resource

NSW’s anti-corruption watchdog is exposing a brewing scandal inside the Liberal Party, with explosive allegations of branch stacking, illegal donations, and meddling in preselections. Secret recordings reveal a fugitive developer bragging about wielding political power and threatening politicians — even targeting the state’s building commissioner. He allegedly funneled millions to a group of Liberal operatives, the “Reformers” — including the brothers of a former premier — to influence party decisions and push a conservative agenda. Decrypted messages and evidence of high-profile fundraisers are fueling the inquiry, which now investigates whether money in politics corrupted key decisions on development, leadership, and even political ousters.
