Dallas McInerney, the chief executive of Catholic Schools NSW, testified before an Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) inquiry regarding the New South Wales Liberal Party. During the proceedings, McInerney described a Christian factional group's attempts to take over the NSW Liberals as "spectacularly unsuccessful," noting that their mission was flawed.
McInerney further revealed during the inquiry that he had previously harbored his own thwarted ambitions to run for the Liberal Party as a senator. He characterized the factional group's efforts as being driven by a sense of "a calling ... a duty."
