Jean-Claude Perrottet is questioned by counsel assisting ICAC Commissioner Juliet Curtin following ICAC’s consideration of intercepted phone calls involving the NSW Premier’s dealings with property developer Jean Nassif. Multiple outlets report that the questioning occurs in an exchange between Curtin’s counsel and Perrottet, focusing on the content and context of calls ICAC has heard or obtained as part of its proceedings.
The reporting describes the session as a formal “quizzing” of Perrottet tied to allegations or concerns raised by the intercepted communications. It indicates that the questioning is procedural and aimed at testing Perrottet’s responses to the calls and clarifying what was discussed, as well as how any interactions are understood within the scope of ICAC’s inquiry.
While the outlets agree on the central point—that ICAC counsel questions Perrottet in relation to intercepted calls with Nassif—they do not present a single uniform narrative of the underlying claims beyond the existence of the communications and the fact of Perrottet’s questioning in connection with them.
