The ICAC inquiry into the Liberal Party’s alleged dealings with disgraced property developer Jean Nassif has taken another turn after details emerged of a dirt-file on then-Liberal MP David Elliott, including an attempt to frame him in an affair.

He’s told Clinton Maynard he’s never had an affair, and he knew he was being tailed by a private investigator.

“She’s got plenty of things to throw rocks at me about, but not that,” he said.

“This is not a shock to Nicole and I; we’ve known for years this was coming. I’m just glad that this is finally out in the open,” he said.

He says he raised these issues with his party, including then-Premier Dominic Perrottet.

“I told him the reason why [I wasn’t contesting Castle Hill],” he said.
