The ability to concoct plausible lies is a talent not to be underestimated - Aunt Lydia, The Testaments.
A talent most of the witnesses in #OperationRosny hearings at #ICAC seemed mostly lack.

"... a complete disregard for the voting public by shadowy political figures looking to subvert democracy and line their own pockets."

How naive and too smart for his own good was Maheswaran to think he could report to a Member of NSW Parliament that a very senior public servant was corrupt without thinking the MP would report it to ICAC?
#ICAC #OperationRosny

Maheswaran is now veering into word salad. Talking in circles.
#ICAC #OperationRosny

You’d normally listen to the beginning & maybe the end to verify that it recorded from beginning to end.
BTW I’ve been to that cafe a few times. 😆
This bit is on P.27
#ICAC #OperationRosny

Maheswaran is saying Nassif was seriously considering paying bribes rather than fix the defects in his buildings!
(There was no bribe).
#ICAC #OperationRosny

How could a building company that was building so many units not have any clue about the cladding class action that was going on at that time?
No wonder Toplace went broke.
They were all ignorant of current issues.
#ICAC #OperationRosny

Its starting to look like he purposely fuelled a lot of this for his own benefit
He either deliberately took things out of context for his own benefit or because he was stupid.
His demeanour has done a 360 from the smartarse who thinks he's the smartest person in the room.
#ICAC #OperationRosny

Maheswaran is now coming across as not too smart in thinking that a request for $5 million to be paid into a trust fund for the cladding class action was an extortion attempt from the Building Commissioner.
He jumps to rash conclusions imprudently.
#ICAC #OperationRosny

Maheswaran just said he’s not here to assist with the Commission at all. He’s only there to comply with the ICAC Act by not lying and turning up on time.
Wow!
#ICAC #OperationRosny
BTW that’s quite the 5 o’clock shadow he’s got and it’s only 3 o’clock.

Maheswaran came in all swagger and bluster on Friday.
Condescending and patronising towards Counsel Assisting and now he is stumbling and you can hardly hear him speak.
#ICAC #OperationRosny

I think Maheswaran has been taking vocabulary lessons from Dallas McInerney.
He just said that a location was equidistant between their respective homes.
Not halfway but equidistant.
At least he didn’t say between their domiciles like McInerney did.

16 - Paslibdan is Michael O'Hara's company. He was the first witness at #ICAC #OperationRosny.

I think Mohammad Abedin is the worst liar we have seen so far in #ICAC #OperationRosny.
When I say worst I mean the worst at it, not telling the worst lies.

The first witness I’ve seen who took an affirmation rather than an oath.
We might actually get some truth from this witness unlike all of the oath takers.

Alice Workman has been mentioned in passing in #ICAC #OperationRosny.
She was the Buzzfeed journalist who destroyed Emma Husar’s political career with graphic allegations of sexual harassment.
