> Former Liberal finance minister Damien Tudehope was questioned on Tuesday by Peggy Dwyer, counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The key revelation came during the final five minutes of his examination. Tudehope was shown an email he had sent in February 2023. It included a leaked draft parliamentary report about branch stacking in the Hills area by the Reformers, the shadowy group at the centre of ICAC’s Operation Rosny.
