| Subject: Nine OZschwitz MPs have stood aside pending investigation into illegal political donations - YaY! Wed Aug 27, 2014 9:20 pm | |
| The NSW Liberal Party's casualty ward - otherwise known as the crossbench of the NSW Parliament - is filling up fast.
Bart Bassett's announcement on Wednesday brings to nine the number of MPs who have stood aside from the parliamentary party pending the outcome of Operation Spicer, the Independent Commission Against Corruption's investigation into illegal political donations.
Two of those, Andrew Cornwell and Tim Owen, have also resigned from parliament.
Bassett's move brings ever closer the real prospect of the casualty list hitting double figures, given the inquiry has potentially a fortnight to run.
Obviously, the Liberals are doing what they can to distance themselves from possible adverse findings or damning evidence down the track.
