Icac probes Charles Perrottet over alleged prior knowledge of NSW fast-track policy

The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption is examining whether Charles Perrottet, brother of the former premier, had inside knowledge of a Covid-era fast-track planning policy before its announcement and whether he used it to benefit fugitive developer Jean Nassif. The inquiry focuses on text messages that appear to indicate prior awareness, though the extent of any wrongdoing remains unproven. This matters as it tests the integrity of NSW planning decisions and could have political repercussions.
