Charles Perrottet has told New South Wales' Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), Australia's state-level anti-corruption watchdog, that he did not ask his brother Dominic — the state's former premier — to appoint a specific minister to benefit property developer Jean Nassif. The denial came as the inquiry examined intercepted phone calls in which Nassif appeared to claim influence over cabinet appointments, including the placement of a minister he favoured in a consumer affairs role and the removal of building commissioner David Chandler, who had been scrutinising defects in Nassif's developments. Charles Perrottet, who has repeatedly denied receiving prohibited donations totalling $2 million from Nassif in exchange for political outcomes, also rejected suggestions from counsel assisting that he and his wife had given false evidence to the commission.
