A Liberal operative has denied creating a "pink" or "fuchsia" piece of paper that he states documented an agreement with a property developer, potentially worth up to $5m. Jeremy Greenwood told the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) on Wednesday that the note was not a "recent invention", despite not mentioning it in a preliminary interview.
Icac is investigating claims that Greenwood, Charles Perrottet, and Christian Ellis received $2m in payments between 2020 and 2023 from fugitive developer Jean Nassif in exchange for political outcomes. Both Greenwood and Charles Perrottet, brother of former premier Dominic Perrottet, have denied accepting illegal political donations.
Greenwood previously informed the commission about an agreement with Nassif where his lobbying company, Beckington, would be paid $1m for each of up to five Toplace projects if they could be fast-tracked. He claimed the only written record of this agreement was a "fuchsia" or "purple-pink" note, once kept in the back of the Toplace general manager's phone case.
On Wednesday, counsel assisting, Peggy Dwyer SC, suggested Greenwood had fabricated the paper. Greenwood denied this, stating, "No, that's absolutely incorrect."
