Dallas McInerney, the CEO of Catholic Schools NSW, has denied allegations of wiping data from his devices to obstruct a corruption investigation involving the New South Wales Liberals. He stated that a factory reset was performed after receiving a security alert from his bank, not to erase evidence for the inquiry.

During the inquiry, McInerney discussed his communications with Reformers and fundraising activities, asserting that his actions were legitimate and not intended to conceal any wrongdoing related to the investigation into illegal donations to the Liberal Party.

Watch for further developments in the inquiry as McInerney's testimony may impact ongoing investigations into fundraising practices within the Liberal Party. The commission's findings could lead to significant changes in political fundraising regulations in NSW.
