- New South Wales ICAC heard that two Liberal operatives discussed buying a Porsche or Ferrari with payments allegedly linked to developer Jean Nassif.
- Lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood gave further evidence about alleged payments connected to Toplace projects approved through a government fast-track process.
A Porsche or a Ferrari: that was the choice two Liberal operatives allegedly discussed while exchanging photos and messages about payments tied to Toplace development projects.
The details emerged during another day of evidence before New South Wales’ Independent Commission Against Corruption. The commission is examining allegations involving rightwing Liberal powerbrokers and illegal political donations.
Lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood, a principal of Beckington Consulting, gave further evidence on Monday. He is alleged to have shared in $2 million in payments from developer Jean Nassif, who owns the now-collapsed Toplace.
The projects at the center of the allegations received approval through a New South Wales government fast-track development process. Nassif is a fugitive, according to the report.
