Lobbyist’s ‘Silly Humor’ Under Scrutiny | Sydney News

Lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood is under fire from the state’s corruption watchdog after admitting to using fake invoices—calling them “silly humor”—to funnel over $130,000 from Catholic Schools NSW into his company Beckington, allegedly to fund a conservative group called the Reformers. With no evidence Beckington delivered any work, the ICAC probes whether Greenwood accepted a $2 million bribe and coordinated payments to Jean-Claude Perrottet, brother of the former premier, for “phone coverage” while Greenwood was overseas. Greenwood’s vague recollections and shifting explanations—including claims he discussed testimony with Christian Ellis—are raising red flags as key witness Dallas McInerney prepares to testify. The case remains murky, with the commission skeptical of Greenwood’s defense—and the public watching closely to see if “silly humor” turns into serious scandal.
