Last year, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian gave evidence to the state’s Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry, whereby she admitted she’d been in a “close personal relationship” with former Liberal MP for Wagga Wagga, Daryl Maguire, between 2015 until August 2020.
Maguire was forced to resign from the Liberal Party and parliament in on 13 July 2018, after he admitted at an earlier corruption inquiry that he sought payment over a property deal.
Shortly after Premier Berejiklian’s evidence to ICAC, she faced a vote of no-confidence in parliament, which she survived 47–38 in the lower house and 21–20 in the upper house.
