Rosny is scheduled to run for eight weeks, beginning in late July 2026.

Rosny, long anticipated after prior speculation and a 2022 private member’s statement, follows expanded and contentious secret-recording powers introduced in 2023 and now in effect.

The Rosny hearings will focus on three main allegations spanning a four-year period of Liberal governance up to 2023.

The inquiry's eight-week timeline, starting at the end of July, places renewed scrutiny on the NSW Liberal Party ahead of a forthcoming state election and on relationships between developers and councils and Catholic school finances.

The Herald supports ICAC’s efforts to uncover corruption and safeguard NSW's democratic process, emphasizing broader impacts on public trust.

The piece is part of The Sydney Morning Herald’s national coverage and notes ongoing political-legal scrutiny surrounding the inquiry.

While the excerpt does not provide all specifics, ICAC’s investigation centers on the ties between Liberal figures, donors, and other entities under scrutiny.

Operation Rosny has been publicly announced as eight weeks of hearings into illegal political donations linked to the Liberal Party in New South Wales.

ICAC will conduct eight weeks of public hearings in NSW to examine alleged illegal political donations connected to the Liberal Party, involving figures connected to Strathfield Council and other donors.

The ICAC will hold eight weeks of public hearings in New South Wales to probe whether former Hills Shire councillor Christian Ellis, Catholic Schools NSW chief executive Dallas McInerney, and Jean-Claude and Charles Perrottet solicited or accepted prohibited donations aimed at recruiting Liberal Party members.

The inquiry will examine undeclared donations between 2020 and 2023 alleged to be solicited or accepted by the aforementioned Liberal figures, tied to political aims against former police minister David Elliott and to the removal of building commissioner David Chandler OAM.

Investigators are also looking into whether donations by Nassif and his company Topplace—prohibited donors under the Electoral Funding Act 2018—were solicited or accepted by Ellis, Jeremy Greenwood, Charles Perrottet, and others to damage the political careers of David Elliott and David Chandler OAM.
