Corruption in the Shadow of the Church The latest revelations from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) hearing have exposed a sordid tale of how the Reformers, a right wing faction within the Liberal Party, allegedly used Catholic Schools NSW as a conduit for factional work.
The picture that emerges is one of blurred lines between church and state, with the Reformers using their influence over Catholic institutions to further their own interests.
At the center of the controversy is Robert Assaf's $135,000 salary at Catholic Schools NSW.
