The billionaire Lowy Family — who made over half a million dollars in secretive “donations” to the Liberal Party weeks before last year’s federal election — paid zero tax on over $1.5 billion of revenue.

A far-right wing “Christian” group allegedly connected to a brother of NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet was likely involved in illegally funnelling property developer cash to stack a Sydney council, an inquiry has heard.

One of two brothers of the NSW Premier to have gone “missing” allegedly sought $50,000 to “revenge unseat” a federal minister.

An obscure company with no website, no telephone number — and no employees — was used by billionaire Lowy family to make $550,000 in secretive “donations” to the Liberal Party.

Former NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro’s appointment to a plumb New York role represented a “jobs for the boys position”.

Four of the nation's biggest fossil fuels companies paid over 13,000 times more in “donations” to the major political parties last financial year than they paid in taxes in 2020-21.
