Hello and welcome to another day of the ICAC’s Operation Rosny live hearings.

I’m state political reporter Jessica McSweeney and along with the Herald’s team of senior writers, we’ll be bringing you all the news as it happens from inside the hearing.

Today we’re hearing evidence from former fair trading minister Eleni Petinos and her former chief of staff Cassandra Lawry. Before then, let’s take a look at what we covered yesterday:

• Dallas McInerney wiped his phone and iPad with a factory reset the weekend before returning the devices to Catholic Schools NSW, he says, after his bank alerted him to an issue with security on his bank account. Counsel assisting Peggy Dwyer, SC, suggested it was a “transparent attempt to wipe evidence”, which McInerney denied.
• McInerney said he handed his devices back to Catholic Schools NSW because he understood it was unlikely he would be returning to work.
• Dwyer said investigators had struggled to find any substantive documentation of work done by Beckington or JPG Advisory, which the ICAC is investigating in connection with allegations Catholic Schools NSW money was funnelled into the pockets of Liberal Party factional operators. McInerney said most of the work was done in meetings or over the phone, which was “safer”.
• McInerney discussed Liberal Party matters and his own political ambitions with Jeremy Greenwood, who ran JPG Advisory.
• McInerney sent a draft position description and negotiated with Jean-Claude Perrottet about a job at Catholic Schools NSW, at least partly while Perrottet was avoiding a parliamentary inquiry by travelling to Fiji.
