$150k payment for part-time work not a 'significant' sum, says Perrottet
Charles Perrottet was asked by the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption whether he agreed $150,000 paid to his wife Anita was a significant figure for work done on a "flexible level".
Charles Perrottet, brother of former NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, testified before the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption that a $150,000 yearly payment to his wife Anita for 16 hours of consultancy per week was not a significant sum. Anita Perrottet, through her company Macquarie Consulting, received over $660,000 from Jeremy Greenwood's businesses between 2020 and 2022.
The payments were allegedly made by Beckington, a company linked to Greenwood. Perrottet defended the payments, stating that they were for valuable work done by his wife and that Jeremy Greenwood saw value in it. The ICAC inquiry is investigating whether the payments were genuine consulting fees or disguised political donations.
