ICAC case almost over but still a long way to go for Daryl Maguire

ABC  

Disgraced NSW MP Daryl Maguire's stunning string of admissions to the state's corruption investigator this week gives the watchdog much to mull over — but history says a legal prosecution is no certainty. Key points: In 2018-19 ICAC made 57 findings of serious corrupt conduct In the same year, it asked the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice on eight people The corruption watchdog has claimed several high-profile casualties since it began in 1988 The former member for Wagga Wagga has been frank about his involvement in a "cash-for-visa" scam for Chinese nationals, failing to disclose business interests in line with MPs' obligations and "monetising" his office to benefit both himself and associates. ICAC's high-profile casualties Former premier Barry O'Farrell resigned after a "massive memory fail" during his evidence. During his evidence to ICAC, Mr O'Farrell denied receiving the gift from Australian Water Holdings executive Nick Di Girolamo, but when the commission uncovered a handwritten thankyou note he resigned citing a "massive memory fail". Another former premier, and ironically the "father" of the ICAC, Nick Greiner, also fell victim to the corruption watchdog, It shone the spotlight on his decision to give a job to former education minister Terry Metherell, which would encourage him to leave Parliament and make way for the Liberals to win his seat in a byelection.
