This reminds me of the standard feminist lobby response when facts run contrary to their blessed ideology. Hardly a rare event BowDown Quick BowDown
Sounds like the premier fell for a f^ck boy. Don’t worry Gladdy, we’ve all been there
I’m so sick of the spider webs of apparently entrenched corruption, deceit, and conflicts of interests in Australian State Politics, specifically in NSW and Victoria. A nod here, a wink there, a favour for a mate or lover......we are constantly treated like mugs.
But you did know in order to say that?
Remember when ScottyFromMarketing said nsw was gold standard state 💩
maxphillips This is the most damning admission. She said the email was “irregular”. It was not the usual way that people communicated with the premier, she said. So why didn’t she forward it on to the appropriate agency? GladysB 'Perhaps I thought it shouldn’t go any further' gladys
He left govt in 2018 in disgrace and yet she, as premier, continued her relationship with him until a few months ago. Not smart! Not looking good for you Gladys!
I just hope she doesn’t resign over this. If she does we might as well say goodbye to NSW economy
I think she is the only premier in the country trying to get the economy moving and get things back to somewhat normal.
