ICAC hands down bombshell report into Berejiklian in a strange bit of theatre

but first proof by the way that not all Sky after dark hosts think the same forming New South Wales Premier Gladys Perrys has just been found today to be corrupt she was a fool for love but corrupt and what do I see today though Vera gickling being defended because she seems nice because I think actually she's a woman too a long delayed report by the New

South Wales independent commission against corruption today said Barrington was corrupt for giving government grants to two local projects in the electorate of a secret lover at the time Daryl McGuire himself an MP now I think those findings are unconvincing I mean if you look closely enough how many other government grants are also given us favors and rewards awarded to make pop politicians more popular the more

serious and more convincing was that ikech found Berra jiggling was also corrupt for turning a blind eye to Maguire's corruption now the secret tapes recorded by ikech of berajikli and talked to Maguire showed her cutting him off when he was trying to explain his dirty deals to her which involves selling influence for money and these tapes were damning either my little friend not really I do

I don't need to know who's your which little friend you're talking about I don't need to know about that you might be able to assist this Commission in answering by reason of material that you had to your knowledge correct no I didn't feel I had anything I knew anything I didn't even have last names I knew nothing now that sounds to me like a premier who

knew that her lover more importantly one of her MPS was up to no good now also damning spiritual and stuttering performance when she was confronted with those tapes in Ike hearings and asked to explain why she hadn't reported Maguire's clearly suspicious Behavior to icac I'm asking you with at that point in time you suspected that Mr mugabaya was engaged in corrupt I didn't know I didn't

know what I was in shock I didn't know what to think there's really no excuse at all for very jiggly and not reporting McGuire who now faces criminal charges by the way no excuse at all given that five years ago she herself reminded every politician in Parliament that had a duty a duty to tell archeck of any suspected corrupt activity Madam speaker I refer my call

to every single member of this place if you see or hear anything which requires which is of concern which you feel iPad should investigate refer it on the but here's the bizarre thing today even her labor opponents didn't dare attack berajiklian her former liberal colleagues even praised her and I wonder how does this work commentators praising her defending her calling this outrageous I know that berajiklian

was and still is very popular especially among female voters and I can understand a lot of Liberals are upset that wanted their own has got the slotted let's not play Tribal politics remember think first how would you react if you're a liberal how would you react if it was a labor politician going la la la when their lover was telling them all look I'm on the

take a bit how would you react then let's stop play Tribal politics here now I know women in particular were making excuses for berajiklian you know oh the premier was in love in love with a man who did her wrong the poor thing I mean what could she do at please if women are supposedly good enough to be Premier and they are they're also good enough

as being excellent it's important however for all politicians in New South Wales and anyone in public life or positions of leadership to understand that we must manage conflicts of interest the new liberal leader even prays for him she was an incredibly popular Premier because she worked her guts out for the people of New South Wales a very quickly later issued a brief statement saying well yes

indeed she was loved wasn't she she said serving the people in New South Wales was an honor and a privilege at all times I've worked my hardest in the public interest nothing this report demonstrates otherwise not that that was an issue thank you to members of the public for the incredible support this will sustain me always by the way the report is currently being examined by

my legal team now that's amazing I mean really if we were talking about a male Premier failed to report the apparent Corruption of a secret lover I doubt we'd hear half this sympathy for him but all that said there is actually on the other hand nothing good at all about the report they gave this phoning a report released today very publicly by Ike and a strange

bit of theater I think there's nothing good because I think itself comes out smelling bad and that's summed up by this that after three years of investigating barajukian after 18 months of after she she was hounded into quitting politics it's only now finally that Ike says well she's corrupt in fact guilty of serious corruption and you've got to ask why such a delay you also got

to ask how this is serious corruption I mean serious corruption when bare jiggling himself didn't personally profit and I wonder if our even Ike believes all this because it then adds the berajiklian actually broke no law so we're supposed to believe that what she did was supposedly serious corruption yet somehow still legal now I wonder if actually has much confidence in how all this would stand

up in court that it isn't taking her there and think about punishing that long long delay to hear all this was and pereglian I mean how could she have spent the last three years wondering if she might even go to jail that's unfair just as delayed Justice denied but let me now talk to the reporters saw from the start that Barry Jacklin was in deep deep

trouble and he called her out publicly now I'm talking about her own Andrew cleanell scania's political editor who got a lot of heat included from scania's viewers for confronting berajiklian like this before she quit as premier when he was talking about batteries Creek land deals I don't need to know that bit Mr Cornell I reject that assumption strongly I've always acted in the best interest of

the people of this state it's not about the personal it's about the professional why didn't you pull up Daryl McGuire in any of these phone calls why didn't you report any of this Behavior he was clearly lobbying for developers while you were Premier and he was a parliamentary secretary why didn't you act on this premiere uh well look that's um all your opinion Mr it's in

the evidence Premiere and why didn't it raise alarm bells for you that he was lobbying for matters outside his electorate it must have Premiere but at all times there was a clear distinction between my personal life and the way I conducted my public office
