From Hunters Hill to the Star and beyond: The ultimate ICAC pub crawl across Sydney (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After 38 days of entertaining, intriguing and, at times, infuriating hearings, it was a “sellout” for the very last day of the Independent Commission Against Corruption’s Operation Rosny. One of those competing for a seat in the public gallery, Rose, told the Herald that she wants to establish an ICAC pub crawl. First stop would be the Hunters Hill Hotel, where the now-fired head of Catholic Schools NSW, Dallas McInerney, discovered his account blocked on a Friday night. Over the weekend, he man
Testicles, tarot cards and tapes: ICAC unravels mayoral blackmail coups (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
A feeling of despair swept over the media room after only half an hour of the much-anticipated evidence of the Everywhere Man of the current inquiry, Sharangan Maheswaran. In the witness box, the normally garrulous 36-year-old solicitor – who is rarely off his phone, constantly texting or chatting to associates, journalists and even other witnesses – was ponderous and prone to nitpicking. He complained that one of the commission’s solicitors was reacting to his answers with “a very strange stare

I’ll tell you what a bribe is. A bribe is when someone is offered money in an envelope to write nasty, horrible things about someone, that’s what a bribe
