Perrottet's brothers have been dodging being served with subpoenas, something something Hills Shire Council ?

More than 1,900km travelled to summon NSW premier's brother to inquiry

Despite the long journey, Liberal factional figure Jean-Claude Perrottet, former Liberal state executive member Christian Ellis and his mother, Hills Shire Councillor and political staffer Virginia Ellis, cannot be found.

Dom says it's a hatchet job. TBH it's an election, so it probably is.

The runaway Perrottets?

 

[the phantom menace]

Sleazy NSW LNP definitely not wanting any further scrutiny on these type of dealings - they've closed up shop five days earlier than they should (under the fixed election term arrangements)!

NSW inquiries to continue despite parliament being shut down from Monday

You are probably right.
What have Perrotet's brothers got to do with him?
There's an election coming so it's clear there are going to be dirty tactics from both sides.
At least Bart can have a wank over this one.

 

[the phantom menace]

You are probably right.

Did you read the articles? What don't they have to do with hime - they are members of the party he is the leader of an accused of some (alleged) dodgy dealings, and avoiding warrants to appear at the related inquiry.

But yes, nothing to see here...

Why are they having an election??? Jackie O said Labor’s policies are good enough for her so they should just get on with it.

Seems like it's actually a Liberal own goal - allegations about dodgy Perrottet brothers action within the Liberal party around developments first aired by...

The inquiry is examining explosive allegations aired by the Liberal MP Ray Williams in parliament last year in which he claimed senior members of the party had been “paid significant funds” to install new councillors in order to support development applications by Toplace and Nassif.

The brothers thing, the nazi uniform, I suspect that labor are not doing their job if they didn’t have a file on him.

I mean the libs must have a file on Chris Minns, but one month out from the election it’s looking pretty boring.

Did anyone see Campese’s foray into politics ? It lasted only slightly longer than Big Mal’s. The libs opened his file and he bailed. Fair enough too, not many could turn a blind eye to super personal scrutiny. He should have watched House of Cards before agreeing to run for pre-selection.

How did we get from public transport fan Turnbull's vision of everyone being 30 minutes commute to work, to the lockdown cookers deciding that the government is planning to prevent us from travelling more than 15 minutes from home ?

‘The 30-minute city’: how do we put the political rhetoric into practice?

The ‘30-minute city’ goal is about more than urban rail and other transit projects. It means transforming our cities into centres of activity where work, study and services are all close by.
