Dallas McInerney, CEO of Catholic Schools NSW, faces intense scrutiny in a third day of testimony before the Independent Commission Against Corruption, as investigators probe whether school funds were secretly diverted to NSW Liberal Reformers via fake consulting contracts. Questioned about $130,000 paid to Beckington Group between 2019-2021, McInerney claimed meetings were held for due diligence—but lawyers argue it was a sham with no real services rendered. He also admitted seeking help from federal Liberal leader Angus Taylor, denying any link to the Reformers—a claim Taylor denies. McInerney stepped aside from his role when the inquiry began. The probe is set to hear from Liberal MP Eleni Petinos (on maternity leave), whose appointment to Fair Trading may have been tied to political maneuvering, as suggested in a leaked recording. Former staffer David Elliott and others are also scheduled to testify, as the investigation digs into potential political influence over public funds.
