A senior New South Wales police officer signed a non-disclosure agreement when told by the federal police in early February that the motivation of the “mastermind” behind Sydney’s “fake terrorism” caravan plot was to influence prosecutions.
Monday’s revelation – which one NSW MP labelled “extraordinary” – came during the first hearing of an upper house inquiry into when the premier, Chris Minns, and members of his cabinet knew that the caravan found laden with explosives in January on the outskirts of Sydney was not a terrorism event.
