The far-right NSW Reformers is a secretive fundamentalist Christian group within the NSW Liberal Party was allegedly created to influence “public policy”, including by stacking local councils.

“2019 NSW Liberal Party AGM had “core reformers” — including Whitelaw — appointed to six positions, with “a further 9 positions going to people that were influenced or supportive of the Reformers”.

“At the 2021 AGM (held in late 2022), eight “core reformers” and nine people “influenced by the Reformers” were elected.

“Importantly the Reformers now made up 50% of the right-wing faction’s total State Executive members,” the dossier states.

“That influence was magnified as numerous members were also appointed to the powerful Local Government Oversight Committee, which is involved in deciding who is “pre-selected” to run as Liberals in local council elections.

“The NSW Reformers were allegedly behind stacking the 2021 Hills Shire Council, in a move that blindsided the Liberal mayor and six other Liberal councillors, who were ousted after failing to gain Liberal Party “pre-selection”.

“Whitelaw was appointed to the NSW Liberal Party Convention Committee at the 2019 AGM and to the Local Govt Oversight Committee at the 2021 AGM (held in 2022).”

Comedian, provocateur, YouTuber, muckraker & investigative journalist #JordanShanks (aka #friendlyjordies) had his house #firebombed a couple of months ago. A long list of powerful interests have plenty of motive, given his history of exposing #corruption & abuses of power in NSW politics. (NSW is an Australian state with 8m people, 5m in #Sydney.)

Shanks has targeted many of NSW's major industries: #coal, #banking, #construction, #media, #realestate, #gambling, #logging. He's been sued by a mining magnate #billionaire & a member of the state executive. He's exposed links between organised crime & the executive, shown how easy #moneylaundering is, triggered parliamentary questions about #NSWpolice abuses, & played a not-insignificant role in bringing down a popular premier & her deputy, almost causing a rift between the two parties that form a Coalition government in NSW. He's also covered corruption in federal parliament.

At times, he has been nasty, misogynistic, racist & ableist. He's unashamedly partisan (pro-ALP). But there's no denying that while still in his 20s he has become a significant figure in #NSWpol and #Auspol, whose influence has been felt across many fields.
