Yesterday's coverage included Jeremy Greenwood's denial of financial arrangements with Charles Perrottet and his insistence that Anita Perrottet was paid for genuine work despite lacking documentation to support this claim.

Story summary

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is conducting Operation Rosny, an inquiry into alleged corruption involving Strathfield councillors. On the current day of hearings, real estate agent Mohammad Abedin testified about his experiences working with former mayor Matthew Blackmore. Yesterday's proceedings revealed Jeremy Greenwood denying a financial arrangement with Charles Perrottet to share in $2 million from Jean Nassif. Despite this denial, there was no documentation supporting Anita Perrottet’s work for which she received payment. Additionally, Jean Nassif preferred not to outline large project payments to Greenwood in written agreements, and Greenwood failed to explain why Beckington sent invoices totaling nearly $1 million to Toplace on a single day. The inquiry also noted the involvement of companies like JPG Advisory and Beckington’s firm in these transactions.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
