Lobbyist Testifies on Fake Reports About Liberal Minister at ICAC
Jeremy Greenwood has admitted to creating a false report about a Liberal MP while under investigation by New South Wales' corruption watchdog.
During a session of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood acknowledged that he commissioned a so-called 'shit sheet' about a former Liberal MP. This file contained claims of an alleged extramarital affair, which Greenwood admitted he knew to be untrue.
Greenwood's testimony occurred as the ICAC investigates allegations concerning the Christian Liberal group. He described the invoices sent under a fake name as mere 'silly humour'. According to reports, the inquiry is examining the motivations and implications behind such actions.
The investigation into Greenwood's activities highlights concerns regarding transparency and integrity within political lobbying in New South Wales. As the proceedings continue, more details are expected to emerge regarding the context of the claims made in the 'dirt file'.
