澳大利亚独立反腐委员会(ICAC)正进行Operation Rosny公开听证会，涉及自由党内部派系纷争案件[1]。商人Frits Mare和自由党上议院议员Damien Tudehope将出庭作证[1]。
Mare将就Jean-Claude Perrottet和Christian Ellis要求其捐资50,000美元用于派系操作一事作证，该资金据称用于打击Scott Morrison助手Alex Hawke[1]。Tudehope因收到传票而辞去影子司法部长职位，但未被指控任何违法行为[1]。此外，Perrottet在短信中称Ellis与Nassif旗下Toplace公司存在关联[1]。
案件还涉及Catholic Schools NSW员工Robert Assaf，其薪资为135,000美元[1]。调查发现，Assaf曾在Belfield咖啡馆与Jeremy Greenwood讨论ICAC传票事宜，两人故意留下电子设备以避免被追踪[1]。
Australia's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is conducting public hearings in Operation Rosny, examining factional disputes within the Liberal Party [1]. Sydney businessman Frits Mare and Liberal upper house MP Damien Tudehope are scheduled to give evidence in the investigation [1].
Mare is expected to testify about allegations that Jean-Claude Perrottet and Christian Ellis pressured him to donate $50,000 for factional operations targeting Scott Morrison's former chief of staff Alex Hawke [1]. Tudehope, who stepped down from his role as shadow attorney-general after receiving a summons, will be questioned about his connections to the right-wing faction known as the "Reformers," though he has not been accused of any wrongdoing [1].
The inquiry has also examined communications between key figures. Jean-Claude Perrottet's text messages reference Christian Ellis's alleged connection to Nassif's Toplace company [1]. Robert Assaf, an employee of Catholic Schools NSW earning $135,000 in salary, was observed meeting Jeremy Greenwood at a Belfield café to discuss ICAC subpoenas, with both men reportedly deliberately leaving their electronic devices behind to avoid being traced [1].
