A storm erupted around NSW Sports Minister John Sidoti last week over his property interests, their proximity to future metro stations and a linked political donation made by a developer to the NSW Liberal Party.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Sept. 17 announced she had received a letter from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) indicating it would conduct a preliminary investigation into the allegations against Sidoti.
