ICAC: Liberal Party official John Caputo admits giving cheques to Chris Hartcher

A Liberal Party official linked to Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Premier Mike Baird has come under fire at a corruption inquiry over thousands of dollars in cheques he gave to former state energy minister Chris Hartcher.

John Caputo, a fundraiser for Mr Abbott and Mr Baird and a former mayor of Warringah, admitted at the Independent Commission Against Corruption on Thursday that it was a "diversion" from normal practice to give political donations made out to the NSW Liberal Party directly to Mr Hartcher.

This included cheques handed over by donors at a March 2011 fundraising dinner attended by Mr Hartcher and former Attorney-General Greg Smith.

Junior counsel assisting the commission Greg O'Mahoney asked whether it "sounds a bit like a fraud" that cheques made out to the NSW Liberals were not given first to head office or its treasurer, as Mr Caputo said was the normal practice.

"No," Mr Caputo replied.

He said that Liberal Party donations were sometimes given directly to particular regions, but he struggled to recall other examples.

Let's hope they throw the book at our corrupt politicians. We want to see some front page pics of pollies eating prison food.

Love Robbo's 'sound bite' on the radio about backing Baird's proposal to punish corrupt pollies. Robbo says something about punishing members of the Lib-NP mob. Hello Robbo...ever heard of Eddie Obeid, Milton Orkopoulos, Rex Jackson etc.

Yes and they are all expelled or dead, unlike the lieberal crooks, so just a little old and irrelevant attempt at deflection, lol.

Brian Langton dead? I'm sure he'd like to differ.

TRANSPORT Minister John Watkins stands by his decision to give a $70,000 public sector job to a former Labor minister who resigned from politics amid a corruption scandal.

Mr Watkins said the appointment of former transport minister Brian Langton as the chair of the Sydney Ferries Corporation was the right thing to do.

Mr Langton, 60, resigned from the NSW cabinet in 1998 after the Independent Commission Against Corruption found that he had rorted his charter plane expenses.

John Robertson dead or expelled? I think he's leader of the opposition.

LABOR leader John Robertson has been heavily criticised by a parliamentary committee for an “error of judgment” in his failure to report an alleged $3 million bribe offer from murdered standover man Michael McGurk.

Of course Mr Robertson rejected the $3 million offer but he can't prove it.

Stop defending these grubs.

don't attempt to tell me what to do, you have done nothing in the above post but the usual deflection and slur. Of course if John Robertson had of accepted a $3 million dollar bribe it could be proved - what are you suggesting, it was in a brown paper bag and he has it hidden under the bed. The Lieberals have been caught red handed, not one has been suspended. If you wish to continue your unfounded slurs against John Robertson I suggest you start another thread. This thread is
