NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman said Gladys Berejiklian had been a popular premier but should have disclosed her relationship with Daryl Maguire.
From what Daryl Maguire called “immigration stuff” to “just exploring” coal mines,the ICAC found the former MP improperly used his status to try to get rich for years.
The Herald is a strong supporter of the ICAC and has defended it against attacks in the past. But it has been rightly criticised for the length of this investigation.
The ICAC’s findings that former premier Gladys Berejiklian acted corruptly will spark controversy,but there’s one conclusion that’s drawn furious agreement.
The ICAC’s report details how Gladys Berejiklian lied to her chief of staff about the nature,length and intimacy of her relationship with Daryl Maguire.
The highly anticipated report brings to an end a lengthy wait for a ruling on the former premier’s conduct while she was in a secret relationship with disgraced former Liberal MP Daryl Maguire.
Hers was no tragic love story. Rather,Gladys Berejiklian,who rose to be the highest elected official in the state,knowingly turned a blind eye to the corrupt actions of her long-term boyfriend.
NSW’s ICAC has been far too slow to deliver its findings on former premier Gladys Berejiklian. On other related matters,however,it showed more urgency.
The NSW government will introduce new laws requiring the Independent Commission Against Corruption to publish “time standards” for investigations.
A casual coffee catch-up assumed far greater significance following stunning revelations at the corruption commission.
The long-delayed report into the conduct of former premier Gladys Berejiklian will be released on Thursday,June 29.
