The commission is investigating whether Maheswaran and Pensabene “engaged in conduct towards Strathfield Councillor Matthew Blackmore that involves the dishonest or partial exercise of their official functions and/or a breach of public trust, including conduct which could involve blackmail and/or possible breaches of the Surveillance Devices Act 2007”.
Abedin, who worked with Blackmore at Inner West Property, told the commission on Thursday that he could not comment on whether the former mayor was distressed to see the flyer on his car.
“Sorry, you’re saying he didn’t seem upset to you. Is that right?” Counsel assisting Juliet Curtin asked Abedin. “Yeah, didn’t seem upset,” Abedin responded.
Abedin was shown the flyer allegedly made by Maheswaran, but he said he did not recall seeing it.
Curtin pointed Abedin to evidence he gave in a private hearing in 2023 describing negative “marketing material”. Abedin said he saw different material.
