About

Christian Ellis is a former powerbroker within the New South Wales Liberal Party, currently at the center of an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigation. The ICAC is examining donations made to the party. Ellis is reportedly living in the UK and is not expected to appear before the commission. Recent hearings have revealed that senior politicians, including former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, supported young Liberal power brokers, with recruitment functions featuring discussions on conservative and religious issues. While not directly named in the snippet about Abbott's involvement, Ellis's past role as a key figure in the NSW Liberal Party places him in the context of these ongoing ICAC proceedings. His alleged involvement in the matters under investigation makes him a significant, albeit absent, figure in the current ICAC inquiry.
