Lobbyist Under Fire Over Payments and Ties | Australia News

Lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood’s second day on the stand at a major inquiry is heating up, as investigators dig into his $60K monthly retainer from Catholic Schools NSW — a group overseeing hundreds of thousands of students and billions in taxpayer funds. Questions swirl over whether he delivered enough work to justify the payout, especially when he can’t recall specifics about the $100K figure. Despite past ties to a Nationals leader and admitting to supporting conservative social stances like anti-abortion views, Greenwood denies any deep links to the Liberal Party’s Reformers group — even though evidence suggests otherwise. Complicating matters further: he and his business partner allegedly used phone diversion services while traveling abroad, raising eyebrows over payments to third parties. His partner remains absent from the inquiry, leaving Greenwood alone to defend his story — as this tangled web of money, influence, and political connections continues to unravel.
