New details presented to the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) describe an alleged smear campaign targeting building commissioner David Chandler. According to reporting, a senior political staffer shows a colleague a video that she could use to “get rid of” Chandler.
Both outlets describe the same account, centred on the internal sharing of material and the alleged intent behind it. The reports focus on what is said to have occurred within political circles, rather than on the broader outcome of any related complaints or investigations.
While the two sources cover the same core allegation, they do not provide additional contrasting context in the excerpts provided. The shared emphasis is on ICAC’s consideration of evidence relating to Chandler and the alleged efforts to undermine him through targeted messaging.
