Liberal operative Jeremy Greenwood has continued his staunch support of Anita Perrottet’s marketing advice.

‘Mum’s perspective on deterring under fives from vaping?’: ICAC says evidence is ridiculous

Jeremy Greenwood has rejected claims he gave "ridiculous" evidence during an inquiry into alleged payments from Jean Nassif, a fugitive developer. The allegations, heard by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac), involve Greenwood, Charles Perrottet, and Christian Ellis allegedly receiving $2 million in payments between 2020 and 2023 in exchange for political outcomes.

Greenwood stated before the commission that the advice provided by Anita Perrottet, Dominic Perrottet's sister-in-law, was not relevant to the situation as her children were under five when she gave it. He also denied giving false evidence about the term "zero unnecessary euthanasia," claiming he had read a Philip Morris submission from 2020 and a 2019 report, and that it did not invalidate his evidence.

Greenwood's testimony was challenged by Peggy Dwyer SC, who claimed his evidence was "ridiculous" and suggested it was false evidence provided to compensate Charles Perrottet for his advice to Nassif. Greenwood disagreed with this assessment, stating he had never received any financial arrangement for consulting work from Charles Perrottet.
