Controversies

Chief of staff to then Finance Minister Greg Pearce, Jo McCafferty, was involved in an altercation with Jeloscek at a drinks function in which a "dishevelled" McCafferty called Jeloscek a "bottom feeder". The incident reportedly related to a recent Seven News story criticising Greg Pearce. [9]
