The 'loyal foot soldiers' who sought to reshape the NSW Liberal Party
A right‑wing faction of the NSW Liberal Party that sought to reshape the party is at the centre of NSW ICAC’s Operation Rosny. ABC News has taken a detailed look inside the workings of the group, describing members as the faction’s 'loyal foot soldiers' and outlining how they operated within the party. The reporting focuses on the internal dynamics of the conservative faction and its role in party organising and candidate support. It also highlights the faction’s prominence in matters now before the Independent Commission Against Corruption, placing its activities under formal scrutiny. The ABC piece maps the influence of the group on party processes and shows the intersection between factional activity and the ICAC inquiry.
