澳大利亚独立反腐委员会(ICAC)启动了名为Operation Rosny的调查,针对地产开发商Jean Nassif与新南威尔士州自由党权力人士之间的关系[1]。该调查涉及多个地方议会、天主教学校以及自由党高级成员[1]。
调查揭露了一系列腐败行为,包括非法政治捐款、虚假发票以及分支机构堆积等问题[1]。Reformers创始人Robert Assaf提交虚假发票并进行分支堆积[1]。自由党前台面议员Chris Rath的窃听录音显示其泄露信息[1]。Catholic Schools NSW被指与自由党承包商有秘密协议[1]。联邦反对党领袖Angus Taylor与捐款指控有关[1]。NSW自由党前台面议员Damien Tudehope因调查而辞去职务[1]。
Australia's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has launched a major investigation called Operation Rosny into alleged corrupt relationships between property developer Jean Nassif and influential figures within the NSW Liberal Party, along with connections to multiple local councils and Catholic schools.[1] The inquiry has uncovered evidence of illegal political donations, fraudulent invoicing, and shell company arrangements involving several senior Liberal Party members, including federal opposition leader Angus Taylor.[1]
The investigation has documented misconduct by key figures in the property development and political spheres. Reformers founder Robert Assaf submitted false invoices and engaged in shell company stacking as part of the scheme.[1] A secretly recorded conversation revealed that former NSW Liberal councillor Chris Rath disclosed confidential information.[1] Catholic Schools NSW has been identified as having entered into undisclosed agreements with Liberal Party-connected contractors, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.[1] In response to the investigation, former NSW Liberal frontbencher Damien Tudehope resigned from his position.[1]
