The New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is currently investigating allegations involving Charles Perrottet, the brother of former Premier Dominic Perrottet. The inquiry centers on whether Charles Perrottet possessed confidential information regarding a government policy designed to fast-track the approval of major property developments during the Covid-19 pandemic.

During his third day of testimony, Charles Perrottet faced rigorous questioning regarding his communications with developer Jean Nassif. Investigators presented evidence, including text messages and records of meetings, which suggest that Charles Perrottet may have been aware of the government's planning policy before it was officially announced to the public. The commission is specifically looking into whether this alleged inside knowledge was used to ensure that development projects owned by Nassif—who is currently a fugitive—received favorable treatment under the new fast-track system.

While the inquiry is focused on the potential misuse of government access, the proceedings have highlighted questions about the relationship between political figures and private developers. Charles Perrottet has been pressed to clarify the nature of his advice to Nassif and whether his actions crossed the line from private consultation into improper influence. The investigation remains ongoing as the commission continues to examine the timeline of the policy's development and the extent of the interactions between the parties involved.
