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.{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/altercation-at-drinks-function-20120505-1y5op.html|title=Altercation at drinks function|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|first=Heath|last=Aston|date=6 May 2012|accessdate=30 March 2015}}
