‘We execute the prick’: Charles Perrottet plotted political downfall of NSW Liberal minister, Icac hears

Charles Perrottet, the brother of the former New South Wales premier, allegedly plotted to damage the career of a Liberal minister, David Elliott. This message was sent after the brother's accession to the premiership in October 2021. The plan, as described by Charles Perrottet, involved "executing" the minister once a party meeting was over. This revelation is significant because it suggests potential corruption and backroom politics within the Liberal party, which could have implications for the party's reputation and public trust.
