underage students at the time./331[371 He became acquainted with Alan Greenberg, the chief
executive officer of Bear Stearns, whose son and daughter were attending the school. Greenberg's

Liquid Funding was initially 4o percent owned by Bear Stearns. Through the help of the credit
rating agencies — Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service — the new
bundled securities were able to be created for companies so that they got a gold-plated AM rating.
The implosion of such complex securities, because of their inaccurate ratings, led to the collapse of
Bear Stearns in March 2008 and set in motion the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the
subsequent Great Recession. If Liquid Funding were left holding large amounts of such securities
as collateral, it could have lost large amounts of money.MEM

Hedge funds
Between 2002 and 2005, Epstein invested $8o million in the D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities

attempted to redeem his investment after he was informed of accounting irregularities in the
funcLIM By this time, his investment had grown to $140 million. The D.B. Zwirn fund refused to
redeem the investment. Hedge funds that invest in illiquid securities typically have years-long
"lockups" on their capital for all investors and require redemption requests to be made in writing
60 to go days in advanceAK The fund was closed in 2008, and its remaining assets of
approximately $2 billion, including Epstein's investment, were transferred to Fortress Investment
Group when that firm bought the assets in 2009.083x Epstein later went to arbitration with
Fortress over his redemption attempt. The outcome of that arbitration is not publicly known.1-11

On 23.6 percent of the primary vote and 51.7 percent of the (http://geofibrock.c
two-candidate-preferred vote, Brock's election depended on o.m.ao/)
preferences from Labor, Nationals SA, and the SA Greens, the —
former two having placed him second on their how-to-vote card. His own how-to-vote card saw
him preference the Nationals, Labor, Liberal, Greens, and One Nation, in that
orderP) The by-
election was closely contested, with the result being uncertain for over a week.
Initial reports
suggested a slight swing to the Liberal candidate Terry Boylan on the two-party-preferred
count
against Labor, with Brock close behind Labor. By 21 January 2009, both the ABC's Antony
Green
and the state electoral office were indicating a 2-point swing against the Liberals toward Labor
on
51.4 percent, but not enough to lose the seat.W-91A1H1F1 Liberal leader Martin Hamilton-Smith
claimed victory on behalf of the party.11330-41C15-1
However, the result hinged on the performance of Brock against Labor in the competition for
second place. Brock won the primary vote in the Port Pirie area and picked up enough National
and Green preferences to overtake the Labor candidate for second place by 3o votes. He then
picked up enough Labor preferences to take the seat off the Liberals on a two-candidate-preferred
vote of 51.7 percent (a majority of 665 votes), despite a slight improvement in the Liberal
vote
since the previous count.r'§JEM
2010 election
Brock increased his primary vote to 37.7 percent and two-candidate vote to 57.5 percent at the
2010 election. Labor won from the Liberals the two-party-preferred vote on 50.1
percent.
2014 election
Brock increased his primary vote to 45.2 percent and two-candidate vote to 58.8 percent at the
2014 election. The election resulted in a hung parliament with 23 Labor seats, 22 Liberal seats,
and two independents. The balance of power was held by crossbenclindependents Brock and Bob
SuchP8I-Such did not indicate who he.would support in a minority_government before he was
diagnosed and hospitalised with a brain tumour and took medical leave one week after the
electiorAniversity of Adelaide Professorand Political Commentator Clem Mcintyrecaid Such's
9 icsituation virtually guaranteed Brock would side with Labor. With 24 seats required to govern,
Brock backed Labor. McIntyre said: ~9
• • If Geoff Brock had gone with the liberals, then the Parliament would have effectively
been tied 23 to 23, so once Bob Such became ill and stepped away then Geoff Brock, I
think had no choice but to side with Labor.
Brock accepted the cabinet positions of Minister for Regional Development and Minister for State
and Government Local Relations. Brock agreed to support the Labor government on confidence
and supply while retaining the right to otherwise vote on conscience.(2°3
Martin Hamilton-Smith-resigned from the Liberals and joined the Labor cabinet two months after
the eleCtion. Labor achieved majority_govemment when Nat Cook won the 2014 Fisher by-election
which was triggered by the death of Such. Despite this, the Jay Weatherill Labor government kept
Brock and Hamilton-Smith in cabinet, giving the government a 26 to 21 parliamentary
majority.•12!1
In the Weatherill Ministry, between 2014 and 2018 Brock has served as the minister with
responsibilities for regional development and for local govenament.E-2?-1
