State insurer icare has paid $235 million to a labour hire firm. New South Wales Treasurer Dominic Perrottet says he can’t explain why the payment was made. Mr Perrottet was unaware of allegations against icare and says he will seek an explanation for the payment to the labour hire firm. Daniel Mookhey, Labor’s finance spokesman says the arrangement appears as a convoluted scheme for icare to hide it’s spending through a major contractor.
