"I& #39;m a very private person and I didn& #39;t feel the relationship had sufficient substance for it to be made public," NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says of her former "close personal relationship" with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire. #ICAC

From the blog: NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian recalls conversations with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire in 2017 but says that "I can& #39;t assume that he was truthful with me at that time". Worth remembering that Maguire is under investigation by #ICAC, not Berejiklian.
"You will always be my numero uno," Berejiklian said in August 2017 call with Maguire. She tells #ICAC she meant this in the context of her personal life.
"To the best of my recollection I& #39;m not certain it registered with me," Gladys Berejiklian says after #ICAC hears tapped phone call in 2017 between her and Daryl Maguire re Badgerys Creek and him potentially paying off debts. She says she was often not listening/distracted.
The suggestion in the phone call was that if Badgerys Creek stuff was successful (it is a vague call) he would earn enough money to pay off debts but Berejiklian says this may have been "fanciful" and she might not have been listening.
