新南威尔士州自由党内部爆出严重派系争斗丑闻。独立反腐委员会（ICAC）的Rosny行动正在调查来自房地产开发商和酒馆老板的非法自由党捐赠，这些捐赠通过天主教学校NSW进行[1]。自由党议员Dylan Whitelaw将此称为"标准派系战争"[1]，而天主教学校NSW员工Robert Assaf据称将60%的工作时间用于自由党分派系堆积活动[1]。
自由党改革者组织自称目标是"在社会中推进基督教价值观"，反对堕胎合法化、辅助死亡和同性婚姻[1]。然而，天主教学校NSW员工曾策划针对自由党部长David Elliott的活动，包括制作虚假档案和诽谤视频[1]。这引发了宗教信仰与政治不诚实行为之间的矛盾——宗教人士利用工作时间从事政治阴谋，却声称代表道德和基督教价值观。澳大利亚上次人口普查中近1000万人宣称无宗教信仰[1]。
An investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption has exposed a scheme involving members of a Catholic school organization engaged in factional manipulation within New South Wales's Liberal Party [1]. The Rosny operation examined illegal donations to the party from property developers and pub owners, which were channeled through Catholic Schools NSW [1].
According to the investigation, Robert Assaf devoted approximately 60 percent of his working hours to Liberal Party branch-stacking activities [1]. The Reformers faction, which operates through Catholic Schools NSW, has publicly stated its objective as advancing Christian values in society, positioning itself against abortion legalization, voluntary euthanasia, and same-sex marriage [1]. However, the same organization's employees orchestrated campaigns against Liberal Party Minister David Elliott, including efforts involving false records and defamatory content [1]. The contradiction between these groups' stated moral mission and their involvement in political conspiracy raises broader questions about the alignment of religious conviction with ethical conduct in public life [1].
