How Gladys Berejiklian's ICAC media blitz backfired

ABC  

Gladys Berejiklian was defiant and utterly unrepentant. A key allegation being explored by ICAC is whether Ms Berejiklian breached public trust by failing to disclose her relationship with Mr Maguire while facilitating the awarding of two grants in his electorate. When Gladys Berejiklian was asked by counsel assisting whether she would have made a similar intervention for another MP, she replied: "Yes, I'm confident I would have." Gladys Berejiklian maintained her relationship with Daryl Maguire was not of sufficient status to warrant disclosure. At one point, Ms Berejiklian was presented with a text message that she sent Daryl Maguire, telling him: "You are my family."
