The former head of the NSW government’s school building unit approved the extension of his self-described “communications fairy godmother” three times in six months despite it not being put to tender, the NSW anti-corruption commission watchdog has heard.
Former School Infrastructure NSW chief executive Anthony Manning was on Tuesday taken through a lengthy email trove setting out discussions he had with Kathy Jones, with whom he previously worked at新南威尔士州卫生基础设施，并将其描述为他的“通信仙女教母”。
前学校基础设施首席执行官安东尼·曼宁（Anthony Manning）在公开询问中担任证人的第四天后离开独立的反腐败委员会。 Associates, was paid about $9 million by School Infrastructure from 2017 to 2024, and the emails showed that she began offering advice to Manning within weeks of him starting as the agency’s chief executive.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption’s inquiry into Manning, now in its seventh week, also heard Manning twice accepted tickets to the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix from a client of School Infrastructure without declaring他们。
然而，周二的大部分证据与琼斯有关，琼斯不会为iCac提供证据。
加载加载2017年8月27日，曼宁开始工作后的几周，琼斯给琼斯发送了一封电子邮件，建议他向潜在的“盟友”咨询并提出介绍。 However within a week, on September 3, Jones sent another email with advice from one of her employees who had worked with the Department of Education.
Asked whether he thought Jones was trying to “curry favour” with him, he said he thought “she was just being helpful”.
Advertisement到9月26日，琼斯已经为她的公司撰写了一份提案，要求其公司“在六个月内”向学校基础设施提供战略性沟通建议。该提案是针对两名员工（琼斯和另一名员工），每月加入四天，持续六个月，费用为110,000美元。该提议指出，琼斯公司可以直接约会（即没有招标），最高可达15万美元。
该提案是在曼宁日历中的第二天在Mordeo举行的活动后的第二天发送的，该提议是在Sydney的CBD和Jones的2017年颁发的。 2018年3月。然而，在1月22日，琼斯再次写信给曼宁，提出了“变化建议”，称原始招标已经“完全消耗”。
随后，它被延长至150,000美元的价值，其中包括GST，包括“可能直到2月底”，她写信给Manning。她写道，合同也可以“直到招标”。到目标”是因为它“最大化琼斯女士在她设定的最初提议中的收入”。第三次延期提案显示，她的每日费用为$ 216,000。要管理学校的基础设施人员正在“使Amreetha远离”一项新策略，因为“他们说她有一个我不同意的利益冲突”。他说，试图采用他的前雇主。
他说，他说，根据他在健康基础设施上的经验，战略沟通是“在我们发展中的关键一步”。我来自一个我们经历过这个过程的组织，并有了解决方案。 It would make sense to shift to that model.”
Manning has previously told the inquiry he only began to consider Jones a friend in 2023, after she helped him with problems he was having with the new Labor government.
But he has also said the two developed a “habit” of walking their dogs together during the COVID-19 pandemic, and on Tuesday he was taken to a series of photos of the two of them socialising together, including one at a dinner to庆祝他在2021年的50岁生日。

曼宁会邀请琼斯进入他的第50位，“不是我能想到的，不。”
Manning还承认，他在咨询公司的情况下接受了咨询公司的招待所，违反了公共服务规则，该公司是一家咨询公司，该公司在2018年至2022年之间从学校基础设施中获得了约1600万美元的收入，邀请他在2018年的Formula 1 Grand Prix邀请他参加2018年和 保存 in ，<！ - > nogise <！ - >或订阅<！ - > - - - - - - - - - - >保存文章以供稍后。
