Former WA Liberal politician Phil Edman will be defending charges of hindering a corruption investigation into his misuse of parliamentary expenses, including allegedly spending taxpayers' money on travel for sex and strippers.The watchdog was investigating the misuse of electoral allowancesMr Edman, a Liberal member of the Legislative Council between 2008 and 2017, is also accused of tipping off three others about the 2019 investigation by the Corruption and Crime Commission .
The report also found that Mr Edman had used public money to pay for interstate travel to meet women for sex and for strippers.The report's findings led to a prolonged argument over the fate of Mr Edman's laptop, which was initially seized by the CCC and talked about in his secretly recorded phone conversations.
The matter ended up in the Supreme Court, which ruled only the parliament could decide if the material on it could be handed over.Today in the Perth Magistrates Court, Mr Edman entered not guilty pleas to the four charges against him — one of wilfully delaying, obstructing, or hindering the CCC and three of disclosing restricted matter.
