## Resource

Damien Tudehope, a former frontbench MP, has stepped down to testify in ICAC’s Operation Rosny probe into illegal political donations in NSW — not because he’s under investigation, but to avoid distracting his party. The eight-week public hearing, starting late July, will examine a four-year scheme to funnel illicit funds into the Liberal Party. Tudehope, aware of some involved figures, prioritized transparency and wanted to lighten the load for Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane and her team. Sloane welcomed his decision, praising his cooperation and noting it allows the party to refocus on its policy agenda. This move underscores a commitment to accountability as the probe unfolds.
