A text message 19 months before a parliamentary bombshell ignited a major corruption probe in NSW, revealing how a junior minister warned his boss—then Premier Gladys Berejiklian—about a shady plan to install pro-developer councillors in Hills Council. The ensuing texts exposed a covert scheme allegedly orchestrated by Liberal figures, including Charles Perrottet and Christian Ellis, to stack council seats with the help of banned developer Jean Nassif.

The scandal, now Operation Rosny, is investigating unlawful political funding and a potential conspiracy to corrupt local government for private development interests.
