A lawyer who previously worked with a fugitive property developer is linked to an alleged plot to politically damage a former state minister, according to testimony at a corruption inquiry. The claims focus on attempts to engineer the former minister’s removal from public office.
The reports say the inquiry is examining allegations that involve political strategy and influence tied to people associated with the developer. PerthNow and The West Australian describe the same core connection: the lawyer’s prior involvement with the developer and the alleged effort to target the former minister. Both outlets frame the matter as part of evidence presented in the context of corruption-related scrutiny.
While the outlets use similar wording and cover the same allegation, they provide limited additional detail about the specific actions said to be planned, who else is implicated, or the precise nature of the alleged “ousting” effort. The underlying process is an inquiry, with the allegations presented through testimony rather than final findings.
