Alan Haselden tells inquiry he had a ‘wow moment’ during meeting with Jean Nassif, the owner of developer Toplace
It has previously heard allegations from party member and businessman Frits Maré that one of the premier’s brothers, Jean-Claude Perrottet, and a Liberal party powerbroker, Christian Ellis, had approached himOn Thursday one of the committee members, Labor MP John Graham, tabled part of an anonymous dossier regarding a group called the NSW Reformers and alleging a state-wide plot to undertake a sophisticated branch stacking operation in the Hills district.
Both Jean-Claude Perrottet and Ellis are named as key members of the Reformers in the document, which cites a series of meetings and events held by the group attended by a bevvy of senior Liberal party MPs. The document, which the Guardian has not been able to independently verify but contains references to previous media reporting and public information about the group, alleges that members of the NSW Reformers used a database from the same-sex marriage no campaign to recruit new members across Sydney’s north-west and received tens of thousands of dollars in donations from loyal MPs, powerbrokers and benefactors.
“People were contacted by phone or email and asked about their beliefs and views. If they were the right type, the person would invite them to attend a reformer event, or offer to meet with them,” the document claims. “The NSW Reformers is an unincorporated group formed with the sole and express purpose of recruiting or stacking branches to the NSW Liberal Party with the goal of installing their own people into council and parliament, and forcing incumbent councillors and MPs to work with them or face the threat of being replaced with a Reformer.”
