Former Liberal minister David Elliot faces scrutiny from NSW ICAC over alleged ties to a fugitive property developer, as the commission investigates whether Liberal powerbrokers manipulated donations and reputations for political gain. A controversial “dirt sheet” — allegedly created by a lobbyist at the direction of party insiders — claims Elliot had an affair and fired a sub-machine gun, though he denies all allegations and says he never met the developer. The document’s purpose remains disputed, with the lobbyist claiming it was meant to shield the developer from attacks, not boost his influence. Meanwhile, former building commissioner David Chandler briefly stepped down under pressure from then-minister Eleni Petinos, who later admitted factional forces may have pressured her office to oust him — a move she condemned as corrupt.
