澳大利亚独立反腐委员会(ICAC)启动了代号Operation Rosny的重大调查,对新州自由党与开发商Jean Nassif之间的关联进行探查[1]。该调查将进行八周[1],由资深律师Peggy Dwyer担任协助律师[1]。
Dwyer在听证会上的表现引发广泛关注。其长达20,533字的开场陈词因专业严谨而获得赞誉[1],预计在接下来的听证过程中将成为公众焦点[1]。Dwyer于2023年被任命为资深律师(Senior Counsel)[1],此前曾在1995-1996年担任前首席法官Michael Kirby的律师助理[1],并在澳大利亚土著法律服务公司(Aboriginal Legal Service)任律师[1]。针对该调查,前政府顾问John Macgowan将其描述为"Girlboss McCarthyism"[1]。
Australia's Independent Commission Against Corruption has launched Operation Rosny, a significant investigation into alleged connections between New South Wales Liberal Party figures and developer Jean Nassif [1]. The inquiry will span eight weeks of public hearings [1], with senior counsel Peggy Dwyer serving as assisting counsel and emerging as a focal point for public attention due to her commanding courtroom presence and meticulous legal arguments [1].
Dwyer's opening address to the inquiry comprised 20,533 words, demonstrating the thoroughness with which she has approached the case [1]. Her legal career has been marked by diverse experience, including a position as judicial associate to former Chief Justice Michael Kirby between 1995 and 1996 [1], and work as a lawyer with the Aboriginal Legal Service [1]. She was appointed as Senior Counsel in 2023 [1].
The high-profile inquiry has already attracted political commentary, with former government advisor John Macgowan characterizing the ICAC investigation as "Girlboss McCarthyism" [1].
