Gladys Berejiklian - ICAC

[sprintcyclist]

........... A damning recording has just been played to the commission of Ms Berejiklian telling Mr Maguire that she was planning to sack a public servant who was not working expediently enough to push through a funding proposal of Mr Maguire's on behalf of the Riverina Conservatorium of Music.

"I can't stand that guy – he'll be gone soon," Ms Berejiklian said.

"Not until he fixes my conservatorium," Mr Maguire replied.
"All right good, tell him to fix it and then I'll … sack him." ...........

Should her salary and benefits be 'clawed back.' ?

............. In a fiery call between Ms Berejiklian and Mr Maguire, she instructed him to pursue a few extra hundred thousand dollars he was seeking because she had already procured $170 million for him.

"I’ve now got you the 170 million in five minutes," she said, exasperated. "If you keep bothering him (Health Minister Brad Hazzard), he’ll fix it. You can’t have me fixing all the problems all the time." ...................

All she wanted was a root.

All she wanted was a root.

It would have been safer (and probably better) if she had hired a gigolo.

[Black Orchid]

I think she was very naive and got manipulated by Maguire but I don't believe she's inherently corrupt.

All she wanted was a root.

It was an expensive root - it cost her her job.

She should have hired a gigolo.

She is an adult who was the Premier of NSW.
I do not think she was naive

Every politician, by nature and position, are liars and corrupt.

This is a fact

That is a difficult statement to accept.

[Valkie]

Every politician, by nature and position, are liars and corrupt.

This is a fact

That is a difficult statement to accept.

Never the less, it's true.

Every politician lies to get into power.
Every politician has to gradually sacrifice more and more of their morals, initially with good intentions, but eventually simply to survive.
Every politician eventually will accept "gratuities" for services, small at first, but gradually more and more.

This is also true for senior (fat cat) public servants, but at an even faster rate of corruption.

The Australian grubberment is nothing more than a collection of criminals.
Unfortunately, the plebbs, the workers, the people who are needed, are never given the opportunity to expose the criminals.
