Lobbyist’s Secret Payments Under Scrutiny | Sydney News

Lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood is under fire for allegedly funneling half his Catholic Schools NSW contract earnings to friend Jean-Claude Perrottet, claiming it was a goodwill gesture — but the commission is probing whether these payments were legitimate or something more. Greenwood also admitted paying another 10% to Robert Assaf, and claimed he could write off all of it as business expenses, even if the records were… inventive. The story gets murkier: Greenwood’s old firm Beckington lost its contract, and Perrottet allegedly helped him land a new deal with JPG Advisory by leveraging his connection to boss Dallas McInerney. Text messages reveal Greenwood telling colleague Ellis that Perrottet needs full payment — especially from “Concord,” a code name for property developer Jean Nassif, a former client. Greenwood says he doesn’t recall the texts, blaming sympathy. The inquiry is still unraveling this tangled web of favors, money, and influence.
