NSW Liberal MPs Andrew Cornwell and Tim Owen have stood aside from the party following revelations their election campaigns were illegally funded by property developers, bringing to six the Baird government’s casualty toll from the latest round of corruption hearings.

Big oops. Did the UnAustralian mention that the practice had approval from the top?

An email shown at the inquiry suggests Mr Loughnane agreed for donations from property developers - which were banned in NSW in 2009 - to be made to the federal party to subvert the laws.

“Brian Loughnane has agreed that for the time being the Fed Sec will operate on the policy…in effect, there is no benefit for a NSW donor to donate to via the Fed Sec, unless they are a property developer,” said Federal Liberal executive Colin Gracie in an email to Simon McInnes, the finance director of the NSW Liberal party.

The email was sent in July 2010.
