• Icac's spotlight has shone on Dominic Perrottet's brother - and it won't be the last we hear from his family

New South Wales's anti-corruption watchdog has been shown text messages which suggest Angus Taylor had paid some money to the Reformers ... or was refusing to", according to the lawyer assisting the inquiry.

Taylor, the federal opposition leader, is not named in Icac's allegations and has previously denied making payments to the hard-right factional group the Reformers.
