Fugitive Liberal ICAC witness breaks silence, condemns colleague's allegations as abuse of privilege
Christian Ellis says Ray Williams made accusations without evidence and for political purposes; Williams asks him to come home and put the record straight
Christian Ellis, a former Liberal staffer who has avoided appearing before the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption by living in England, has broken his public silence to condemn allegations made against him by fellow Liberal MP Ray Williams as an abuse of parliamentary privilege. In a five-page letter to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Greg Piper, Ellis said Williams’ accusations were defamatory and made for political purposes without supporting evidence.
