Catholic Schools Under Fire Over Alleged Political Donations | Melbourne News
Description
Icac is investigating claims that Catholic Schools NSW funneled political donations—potentially exceeding limits and involving branch stacking—to support the Liberal Party, raising alarms over the misuse of nearly $3.8 billion in public funds. With 80% of Catholic school funding coming from federal and state coffers, the scandal sparks debate over accountability in private education, as the NSW Greens demand an audit and halt to public funding, while the Premier waits for Icac’s findings. The Catholic Schools NSW CEO has offered to step aside to ensure operations continue uninterrupted during the probe.
