As a seasoned player in Sydney's corridors of power, Perrottet's defense that lying and misleading do not make him dishonest highlights the blurred lines between integrity and self preservation.
Perrottet's testimony is part of a broader ICAC inquiry into corruption and cronyism within the Liberal Party.
