NSW Liberal Party inquiry into branch stacking and illegal donations

NSW's anti-corruption watchdog has launched a public inquiry into allegations of branch stacking, illegal donations, and electoral interference within the Liberal Party, with secret recordings revealing a developer's claims of having undue influence over state government and politicians. The inquiry, Operation Rosny, exposes the serious nature of branch stacking beyond it being merely ambitious political maneuvering, instead suggesting coordinated corruption affecting political preselections and government decision-making. The investigation has uncovered evidence of alleged bribery and intimidation, including threats against a state politician and the building commissioner.
