Gladys Berejiklian vows to 'get on with my life' after giving evidence at ICAC inquiry

Former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian has vowed to "get on with my life" after giving evidence at a corruption inquiry for a second day. Key points: Gladys Berejiklian was quizzed about when her secret relationship began and ended She insisted she trusted Daryl Maguire when he told her he'd done nothing wrong The former premier said she assumed Mr Maguire was concerned about privacy when he suggested she used an encrypted app The Independent Commission Against Corruption is investigating whether Ms Berejiklian breached public trust by failing to declare a potential conflict of interest during her secret relationship with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.
