Catholic Schools NSW CEO Dallas McInerney steps aside from his position following the New South Wales corruption watchdog’s announcement that it is investigating whether he signed off on alleged illegal political donations. Multiple outlets report the decision occurs one day after ICAC disclosed the matter, with McInerney voluntarily standing aside while the investigation is underway. The reports focus on ICAC’s inquiry into the approval of political donations and whether McInerney had a role in signing off on them. No source provides further detail about the specific donations, the circumstances of any approvals, or the scope of the investigation beyond ICAC’s stated focus on potential illegality. The outlets present the development as a procedural move by McInerney to step back from his role during the watchdog’s review, rather than a finding of wrongdoing. The story remains active as ICAC continues its investigation.
