The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption will hold public hearings on allegations against standing by NSW Minister John Sidoti.
The hearings will take place 18 months after the ICAC confirmed that it was investigating allegations related to Mr Sidoti in 2019. At this point he resigned as Minister for Sports, Multiculturalism and Veterans.
The public hearings will begin on Monday March 29th and will bring attention back to integrity issues in the Berejikl government.
Prime Minister Gladys Berejiklian has just confirmed that Mr Sidoti called her this morning and offered his official resignation from the ministry.
Acting Minister Geoff Lee will continue to serve on his portfolios « until I find a replacement in the near future, » said Ms. Berejiklian.
In a statement released this morning, an ICAC spokesman explained the nature of the investigation – citing two types of investigation – related to the impact on development.
