Summary
Senior Liberal MP Damien Tudehope has stepped down from his front bench role amid mounting pressure as he prepares to testify in the ICAC’s high-profile Operation Rosny inquiry into political donations from 2020 to 2023. Though not accused of wrongdoing, Tudehope fears his witness role could distract from his key opposition duties ahead of the March state election. His move follows similar steps by ally Dallas McInerney, former head of Catholic Schools NSW, who also stepped aside just a day earlier. Tudehope’s decision was backed by Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane, as the ICAC prepares to begin public hearings on July 27th.
