NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian has revealed she was in a “close personal relationship” with the disgraced former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.The secret relationship casts new light on a scandal that has been years in the making.
Maguire resigned in 2018 and is now at the centre of an ICAC investigation, which is examining, among other things, his use of public office to help the developer and racing heir Louise Waterhouse sell her land near the proposed western Sydney airport. His efforts could have helped earn him more than $690,000, had the sale gone through.
The evidence has prompted questions about Berejiklian’s future as NSW premier.
I do not live in NSW, however she has done her job to the best of her ability, and probably better than some male premiers could have. We all have flaws, she is respectful and very intelligent as far as I can see. What a wonderful job she has done in such trying times is all I can say.
