Under pressure cabinet secretary Arthur Sinodinos has publicly lashed out at the NSW Electoral Commission over a political donations scandal, branding as "flawed" its report into the illegal funnelling of donations to the state Liberal Party.


Cabinet secretary Arthur Sinodinos has again denied wrongdoing as he enlists lawyers to fight a NSW Electoral Commission report.

 

Senator Sinodinos is seeking a retraction of references to himself in the report that he says uses loose language, which could convey erroneous impressions over the NSW political donations scandal.

 

The commission is refusing to pay the Liberals more than $4.4 million until it reveals the identities of secret donors who poured about $700,000 into the party's coffers ahead of the 2011 state election, when Senator Sinodinos was its treasurer and finance director.
