Catholic Schools Funding Under Scrutiny | Sydney News

Dallas McInerney, head of Catholic Schools NSW and a right-wing Liberal figure, is under ICAC scrutiny after allegedly using school funds to back the Reformers—a faction he admits failed to achieve its goals. Stepping aside from his role, McInerney told investigators he supported their aims but criticized their methods, calling their work more “duty” than passion. He also revealed past ambitions to run for office—and a bitter moment when he felt betrayed after a Senate seat deal with late Senator Jim Molan collapsed. Meanwhile, NSW Liberal leader Kellie Sloane reshuffled her frontbench, replacing Chris Rath—who’s accused of helping party members dodge parliamentary inquiry testimony—yet still keeping him on the team. The ICAC probe now links Rath’s alleged actions to the broader investigation into payments from Catholic Schools NSW to the Reformers.
