In a major political scandal, Operation Rosny uncovers illegal Liberal Party branch stacking and kickbacks involving Robert Assaf and Christian Ellis. Assaf admitted receiving a 10% referral fee for connecting Ellis’s lobbying firm, Beckington, with Catholic Schools NSW — payments disguised as fake invoices totaling $20,000, allegedly used to fund The Reformers. While Ellis called it “tax minimization,” Assaf admitted it was “tricky.” Ellis, expelled from the NSW Liberal Party for branch-stacking, has fled to England and won’t testify. Assaf’s testimony continues, with officials frustrated by his memory lapses — and more is expected next week.
