NSW Anti-Corruption Body Probes Liberal Faction Over Illegal Donations and Branch-Stacking

NSW's corruption watchdog opened Operation Rosny hearings on 27 July 2026, probing a Liberal faction called the "Reformers." Counsel assisting Peggy Dwyer SC alleged the group — including a lobbyist, a consultant, and a former premier's brother — solicited prohibited donations to fund branch-stacking, recruiting 5,000 Christian conservatives to seize control of the party's NSW division. The eight-week inquiry continues.
