澳大利亚独立反贪委员会（ICAC）正在调查新南威尔士州自由党内的保守基督教派系NSW Reformers的资金使用情况1。该派系创始成员Robert Assaf在听证会上承认，派系资金曾被挪作个人开支，包括支付单身派对等费用，成员原本打算事后偿还1。Assaf辩称当时成员"不成熟且年轻"，将派系资金视为个人开支的预支1。
调查还审查了通过游说公司Beckington提交的虚假发票以及禁止捐赠人的资金流向1。旅馆业主Michael O'Hara被指控为禁止捐赠人，未申报捐款且超出限额1。据群聊信息显示，成员Dallas McInerney曾讨论向联邦反对党领袖Angus Taylor"索要"10,000元1。对此，Assaf声称来自Taylor的付款"从未发生"，并称不记得任何部长向他们进行过捐款1，而Taylor本人也否认曾进行过相关付款1。
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is investigating the financial dealings of NSW Reformers, a conservative Christian faction within the New South Wales Liberal Party.1 During a public hearing, founding member Robert Assaf acknowledged that the faction's money had been used to cover personal expenses including a bachelor party, with members intending to repay the funds.1 Assaf attributed the misuse to members being "immature and young" at the time, describing the faction's resources as an advance on personal spending.1
The inquiry is also examining fraudulent invoices routed through the lobbying firm Beckington and the flow of funds from banned donors.1 Hotelier Michael O'Hara has been identified as an undisclosed donor whose contributions exceeded legal limits.1 Text messages presented to the commission show Dallas McInerney discussing a request for ten thousand dollars from federal Opposition Leader Angus Taylor.1 Assaf stated that any payment from Taylor "never happened" and said he did not recall any minister making donations to the faction.1 Taylor has denied making any such payment.1
