> NSW premier Chris Minns said he would not gloat or seek political advantage from hearings by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The hearings concern allegations involving people associated with the New South Wales Liberal party. As revelations emerged that could hurt the Liberals’ prospects in the state election, the NSW government released key documents on three contentious issues. Minns framed the process as a chance to improve political conduct and deter corruption.
