Reformers founder Robert Assaf tells an NSW corruption hearing that some right-wing Liberal politicians were willing to support his organisation, including Angus Taylor, now federal Opposition Leader. According to Assaf, the support reflected a broader willingness among parts of the right wing of the Liberal Party to engage with or back the group’s work. The claim is attributed to Assaf’s testimony at the hearing, which concerns allegations of political or financial influence related to the organisation.
The outlets report the same core information: Assaf describes conversations or expectations of support from right-wing Liberals and identifies Taylor by name. While the reports recount Assaf’s account, they do not provide additional detail in the published summaries about the evidence presented, the timing of any alleged support, or responses from Taylor or other figures. The matter is presented as part of ongoing proceedings before the corruption inquiry in NSW.
