Liberal operative denies wire request was serious, tells ICAC inquiry
Source Summary
Jeremy Greenwood told the Independent Commission Against Corruption that his request to be fitted with a wire before a meeting with fellow Liberals was merely a silly comment. Greenwood also said he cannot recall a plan involving YouTuber FriendlyJordies producing a negative documentary about a New South Wales minister.
Why it matters
The testimony addresses allegations of coordination and potential misconduct within the New South Wales Liberal Party under investigation by ICAC.
What remains uncertain
It is unclear whether Greenwood's characterization of the wire request as a silly comment will be accepted by the inquiry or whether additional evidence will contradict his account.
