Gladys in Very Deep Poo
The Premier of NSW Gladys Berejiklian has appeared before the Independent Commission Against Corruption answering questions about her relationship with disgraced Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.In evidence to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) today, the Premier revealed she was in a relationship with Mr Maguire from 2015 until a few months ago.
Ms Berejiklian said she made a mistake and would not have made the same decisions, if she knew then what she knows now.
She said she felt let down by Mr Maguire, having "trusted him for a long time".
Mr Maguire, who was forced to resign as Liberal MP for Wagga Wagga in 2018, is under investigation by the ICAC for allegedly using his political influence in business deals.
The contradiction between Ms Berejiklian as the steadfast, by-the-book, risk-averse leader and a relationship that was at the very least misjudged after multiple allegations against Mr Maguire, is as surprising as it is unfathomable.

Re: Gladys in Very Deep Poo
I will reserve judgement on Glad seeing that she has handled COVID and the Bushfire crisis so well and generally at least tried to run a tight ship in NSW. And I am a (Not one eyed) Labor voter...mostly. I think Jodi Mackay is going to have to be careful how viciously she responds to this. She is already looking overly nasty in her response. She will come off second best if she's not careful. Glad will survive this.|
