Catholic Schools Funding Scandal | Sydney News

A major corruption probe is unfolding as the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigates allegations that Catholic Schools New South Wales funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to a conservative political group through shell companies—money allegedly used to fuel Liberal Party ambitions. Dallas McInerney, the former head of the organization, has been summoned and grilled under intense scrutiny, though no conclusive evidence yet links him directly to orchestrating the scheme. Prosecutors face hurdles building a case for electoral fraud, but the ICAC insists the funds benefited the party illegally. McInerney denies any knowledge, yet his credibility—and possibly his career—are in jeopardy. The church may now seek a more politically neutral leader, while the investigation continues to unravel how the money moved and who knew what.
