The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has decided not to investigate Premier Chris Minns and the NSW government regarding the proposed redevelopment of Rosehill Racecourse. The ICAC found no evidence of corrupt conduct following a referral from a parliamentary committee.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption ( ICAC ) will not investigate the NSW government or Premier Chris Minns over the controversial proposal to redevelop Rosehill Racecourse . ICAC said today it had reviewed the referral and could not find any evidence of corrupt conduct. 'The commission's assessment panel, comprising the three commissioners and senior commission staff, considered the information set out in the select committee's report,' ICAC Chief Commissioner John Hatzistergos said.
'The assessment panel has unanimously determined not to commence an investigation on the basis that the information before the commission does not indicate a reasonable likelihood of corrupt conduct occurring.' Minns had categorically denied any allegation of corrupt conduct from the get-go, labelling the decision to refer the Rosehill plan to ICAC as 'completely unsubstantiated', 'disgraceful' and an 'old-fashioned smear'. 'It is truly undermining the principles of investigation and the Independent Commission Against Corruption to put in place unsubstantiated rumours, dress them up as a corruption allegation... whilst providing absolutely no information, no facts, no evidence to support that exact allegation,' he said after news of the referral broke
