The lawyer for corrupt former NSW Liberal MP Daryl Maguire released a statement saying “Daryl Maguire is proud of his many achievements”.
The former premier’s dodgy boyfriend Daryl Maguire told her he was the boss. But let’s not patronise her like he did,and pretend that she was powerless.
The former premier’s legal team and the corruption agency traded harsh assessments as they argued about the things we do for love.
The normalisation of corrupt conduct - including pork-barrelling - is a cancer on our democracy. But there’s cause for optimism that the rorters are now on notice.
The NSW premier has refused to criticise Gladys Berejiklian’s conduct despite a scathing ICAC report which found she engaged in serious corruption.
Corruption is not just about money being handed over in brown paper bags,as juicy is that is.
“To reveal that she had been in a relationship for four or more years with someone publicly suspected of corrupt conduct ... would be anathema to her,and most probably be the death of her political career,” the ICAC concluded.
The ripple effect from a single phone tap led to the downfall of then-premier and MP Daryl Maguire’s secret lover,Gladys Berejiklian,writes Kate McClymont.
The carefully detailed ICAC report is damning for the former premier,but on the evidence,criminal charges are unwarranted.
The former premier signalled she may seek to challenge the anti-corruption watchdog’s finding that she and her former secret boyfriend Daryl Maguire engaged in serious corrupt conduct.
The ICAC has completed its report in an investigation into the former premier,18 months after public hearings concluded.
