Minns said he wouldn’t ‘gloat’ about Icac hearings into the Liberals. Instead, he’s quietly taken out the trash

During the Independent Commission Against Corruption's (Icac) Operation Rosny hearings into allegations involving the New South Wales Liberal Party, Premier Chris Minns emphasized that the Labor government would not 'gloat' or take political advantage of the process. However, the article highlights that the NSW government has been actively removing potentially damaging information from public view. This includes the release of key documents related to hate speech laws, the resignation of a senior minister over confidentiality concerns, and the exposure of a Liberal senator leaking confidential reports. These actions appear to be aimed at undermining the electoral prospects of Liberal leader Kellie Sloane, despite her not being an MP at the time of the alleged misconduct. The article suggests that while the government claims transparency, its handling of these documents seems strategic, possibly to shift attention away from its own controversies.
