The NSW Parliament has flagged an inquiry into the controversial sale of a former union-owned retreat on Sydney's northern beaches.
Nationals MP Trevor Khan gave notice in state parliament on Wednesday night he would move a motion on the next sitting day to see a committee investigate the sale of the holiday property Currawong.
A select committee would scrutinise the property's long and chequered history, including the offer slain businessman Michael McGurk made when Unions NSW had the property up for sale.
A committee would also examine the Land and Property Management Authority's (LPMA) purchase of the property in 2011 from company Eco Villages Australia, which bought it from Unions NSW.
Opposition Leader John Robertson has come under fire recently after he revealed Mr McGurk offered him a $3 million sweetener in exchange for the sale of Currawong.
Mr Robertson, who was then head of Unions NSW, flatly rejected the bribe, but did not report it to police.
Mr Khan's notice of motion states the select committee would also examine "the ministerial propriety" of Mr Robertson's actions and statements.
The piece of Pittwater real estate has already been at the centre of an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry.
ICAC found former NSW lands minister Tony Kelly acted corruptly when he backdated a letter LPMA used to buy the property two weeks before the March 2011 election.
