The council’s 2 March 2023 announcement adds another perspective: residents were presented with a courteous handover. We compare that record with the testimony, including Maheswaran’s denial that he forced Blackmore to resign. vantagedata.au/investigation…

Bugger. We were exact contemporaries. Peter and I joined the old This Day Tonight program on ABC television on the same day in 1972. He was a great journalist but, beyond that, a thoroughly nice man, a great guy, a staunch friend.

Very sad news about the death of Peter Manning, who has been described by his peers as “a colossus of Australian investigative journalism.” The former EP of 4 Corners received a standing ovation last year when he won the Walkley Award for Outstanding Contribution to Journalism.

#ICAC is adjourning until 2pm when the Banquo's ghost of this inquiry, Jean Nassif, is set to appear by AVL from Lebanon. The current witness, the former Mayor of Strathfield, has been asked to wait around until 2.15pm in case of "technical difficulties" with "The Fugitive."

Sad to learn that fugitive property developer Jean Nassif has provided a medical certificate stating he is unable to give evidence by video link from Lebanon on Friday as scheduled. No fresh date has been set. #ICAC is not sitting tomorrow (Wednesday 2 Sept)

"Mr Perrottet, you are tying yourself in knots," suggested #ICAC counsel assisting Dr Peggy Dwyer, SC, to Charles Perrottet, whose wife Anita suffered such a spectacular memory fail in the witness box last week. #OperationRosny
