SYDNEY - The former premier of Australia’s most populous state engaged in corrupt conduct involving another lawmaker with whom she was in a secret romantic relationship,The New South Wales Independent Commission into Corruption said in a report handed to parliament that Ms Gladys Berejiklian had failed to notify the commission of her concerns that Mr Daryl Maguire, a member of parliament with whom she was in a relationship during her term of office, may have engaged in corrupt conduct, and this...
A year later she resigned when the watchdog said it was investigating whether she was involved in conduct that “constituted or involved a breach of public trust”.Mr Maguire told the inquiry he had received envelopes full of thousands of dollars in cash at his parliament office as part of a scheme for Chinese nationals to fraudulently acquire visas.
It said he misused his role as chairman of the NSW Parliament’s Asia Pacific Friendship Group to advance the commercial interests of a Shenzhen business association in South Pacific nations. Mr Maguire also misused his office by receiving a fee to introduce the party secretary of Liaoning province in China to then NSW premier Barry O’Farrell at parliament in 2012, it said.
