NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian told a corruption inquiry she had no knowledge of a business championed by her former partner, Daryl Maguire. The ABC has learned her office was warned about the company three years ago.

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian's office was warned in 2018 of the unscrupulous business practices of an export agent who received favours from her former secret partner, ex-Liberal MP Daryl Maguire.ABC Investigations

Ms Berejiklian's office received the correspondence from former Albury MP Greg Aplin a month after her last known call with Mr Maguire about the businessman. Farmer Cherilyn McKeever Bird, from Rennie near Albury, says one of Jimmy Liu's businesses owes her more than $150,000. Mr Liu sent UWE Hay into voluntary administration just four days after the Birds' warning, owing millions of dollars to creditors.

One of the Birds' complaints was that Mr Liu had received business awards from the state government, including NSW Premier's awards given to Mr Liu during Barry O'Farrell's leadership.

It was pretty obvious at the time Gladys was getting away with corruption via lies - she had YEARS to reassess her SECRET relationship and clear headedly drop the BF.

From my little corner I See intelligent eloquent involved people on Twitter ( a few others admittedly ), so how in the he'll did we get the current crop of lnp politicians?

She's got to go

Yet she still started a relationship with him!!!!!!

Good luck extracting any accountability whilst GladysB wears her covid cloak.

TrubbellAtMill What didn't Gladys know & when did she not know about it.

The Sydney 5trumpet

TrubbellAtMill All aboard

Hands up if you didnt know maguire was a crook? Anyone? Anyone?

Seems to be big questions over the Premiers character and her reluctance to answer questions honestly. Sadly our Premier seems to duck and weave questions and due to her gender is not taken to task as compared to others. By not taking responsibility for the inaction is terrible.
