> Former NSW fair trading minister Eleni Petinos told an ICAC inquiry that her 2022 dismissal from Dominic Perrottet’s government may have been linked to her refusal to sack building commissioner David Chandler. She said Liberal figures may have used her office to target Chandler and described her own sacking over alleged bullying as unfair.
