Liberal group members received 'kickbacks' from Catholic Schools NSW contract, Icac hears

An inquiry has heard allegations that members of a conservative Christian Liberal group received "kickbacks" from consultancy payments. These payments were reportedly made by the governing body for more than 600 schools in New South Wales to a lobbying company.

Lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood provided evidence on Wednesday during the third day of his testimony at the Independent Commission Against Corruption's (Icac) Operation Rosny. He detailed the alleged financial arrangements linked to the contract between the lobbying firm and Catholic Schools NSW.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption is examining the circumstances surrounding these payments. The allegations suggest a potential misuse of funds or improper influence related to the contract awarded by the influential Catholic education body in New South Wales. Further details are expected to emerge as the Icac hearing continues.
