Reformers founder Robert Assaf gives evidence at a corruption hearing that he believes many right-wing Liberal Party figures were prepared to support his group. According to reporting across multiple outlets, Assaf’s comments are linked to a claim about political influence and recruitment, specifically that an MP convinced an ICAC witness to join the Liberal Party. The testimony is presented as part of the hearing’s examination of relationships between political actors and Reformers. While the outlets focus on the same central account, they do not indicate a final finding of misconduct in the material provided. The reporting describes Assaf’s evidence as highlighting support within Liberal Party circles, particularly among right-wing members. The hearing is therefore centered on alleged connections and motivations involving a witness, the MP’s alleged role, and the level of backing Assaf says his organisation received from certain Liberal Party elements. All sources attribute the core claims to Assaf’s statements during the corruption proceedings.
