The Blind Trust of Cronyism: A Pattern Emerges in New South Wales Politics The recent ICAC hearings have shed light on another egregious example of cronyism and corruption within the New South Wales government, involving Catholic Schools NSW and its dealings with a fledgling government relations firm.
This case is striking for its brazenness, as well as the involvement of Liberal factional allies and the misuse of public funds to further their interests.
At the heart of the scandal is Dallas McInerney, the boss of Catholic Schools NSW, who repeatedly claimed he had done his due diligence when negotiating a contract with Beckington.
