天主教学校NSW首席执行官达拉斯·麦金尼在澳大利亚独立反贪局(ICAC)的公开听证会上作证，对多项指控予以否认[1]。麦金尼坚持天主教学校NSW与两家与改革者派系相关联的公司之间的合同系真实交易，而非虚假安排，并强调这些合同代表对政府关系工作的真实支付[1]。
麦金尼进一步否认天主教学校NSW收到的资金曾打算流向改革者派系[1]。在听证期间，他还强烈否认曾与杰里米·格林伍德讨论过相关证词内容[1]，尽管私人证据显示格林伍德声称与麦金尼讨论过ICAC传票事宜[1]。麦金尼计划于周三上午继续接受盘问[1]。此外，独立反贪局将在下周听取前议员戴维·埃利奥特、现任议员埃莱尼·彼得诺斯及其前幕僚长卡桑德拉·劳瑞的证词[1]。
Dallas McInerney, Chief Executive of Catholic Schools NSW, testified at a public hearing before Australia's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Operation Rosny, firmly denying that contracts between Catholic Schools NSW and two companies associated with the Reformers faction constituted false arrangements [1]. McInerney insisted the contracts represented genuine payments for government relations work [1].
During his evidence, McInerney rejected claims that funds from Catholic Schools NSW were intended to flow toward the Reformers [1]. When confronted with private evidence suggesting Jeremy Greenwood had claimed to have discussed ICAC summonses with him, McInerney strongly denied having held any such conversation regarding his testimony [1].
McInerney is scheduled to continue his evidence on Wednesday morning [1]. The ICAC inquiry will subsequently hear from former Member of Parliament David Elliott, current Member Eleni Petinos, and her former chief of staff Cassandra Lawry in the coming week [1].
