Summary
NSW Liberals are in freefall as two explosive corruption probes threaten to unravel their political future. One investigates alleged illegal donations that allegedly helped install Reformers on the Hills council in 2022, tied to a fugitive developer and a major stalled project. The other targets ex-minister John Sidoti, charged with misconduct for lobbying councillors to ease planning rules on family-owned properties. Both cases expose how development power and political influence may have collided — potentially triggering an existential crisis for the party, echoing Labor’s downfall after the Eddie Obeid scandal. With questions also swirling around attempts to sideline the state’s building commissioner, these investigations could reshape public trust in the system — and the Liberals’ survival.
