ICAC wraps nine-week inquiry into illegal Liberal donations

The ICAC's major Operation Rosny inquiry finished public hearings. It heard evidence from 20 witnesses over 38 days.

NSW's corruption watchdog finished a nine-week inquiry into illegal Liberal Party donations. Judge Fabian Gleeson heard from business leaders, a fugitive developer, and a private investigator.

This took 38 days. He now has up to 180 days to write his report to parliament.

The inquiry looked at how developers illegally funded the party. Gleeson wants fast findings and shorter submissions.

But past ICAC inquiries have taken much longer. Former premier Gladys Berejiklian waited almost 20 months for her report.
