ICAC and Gladys Berejiklian: Was it just a bad boyfriend

Gladys Berejiklian stunned the people of NSW on October 1st by announcing her resignation. The state’s Independent Commission Against Corruption had announced it was investigating Ms Berejiklian over grants provided to her then-boyfriend Daryl Maguire’s electorate. After two days of astounding testimony Ms Berejiklian will move to the next phase of her life.

The Australian’s NSW parliamentary reporter Yoni Bashan has covered the 11 days of ICAC hearings. He details the untruths, surprises, twists and turns in a remarkable story.

Gladys Berejiklian led NSW through the Covid crisis and just as life was returning to normal, she stood aside amid accusations of pork-barrelling and hiding a relationship which may cast a shadow over her legacy as Premier.
