‘We have something that will kill Elliott’: Icac questions former Labor councillor over message

Sharangan Maheswaran, a former Labor councillor, has been questioned by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) about a message he received that allegedly targeted NSW Liberal minister David Elliot. The message, which Maheswaran claims was not related to his work for a fugitive property developer, suggests that he had a "common interest" with a conservative Liberal operative. This inquiry is significant because it raises questions about potential corruption and influence-peddling in NSW politics.
