Lobbyist Under Fire in ICAC Probe | Sydney News

ICAC is investigating lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood over three major corruption scandals, including diverting Catholic Schools NSW funds via fake contracts, allegedly aiding a blackmail plot at Strathfield Council, and plotting to accept a $2 million bribe from developer Jean Nassif. The probe, Operation Rosny, began after a Liberal MP accused developers of paying for pro-development councillors — many of whom are now gone. Greenwood’s ties to powerful figures like Philip Ruddock and Matt Canavan, plus his schoolmates under investigation, add intrigue. Despite calls for transparency in council meetings with lobbyists, Hills Shire Council rejected the motion, citing practicality. Greenwood admitted commissioning a smear against ex-police minister David Elliott to protect his business — even though his client Nassif disliked Elliott — and claimed he’d do anything for friend Jean-Claude Perrottet, including giving him money. ICAC commissioner expressed frustration with Greenwood’s responses, questioning his understanding of English. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
