Phone taps, talk of marriage and kids, piles of cash, tales of misguided trust and a secret boyfriend. It's all part of the Australian Independent Commission Against Corruption's investigation into former premier of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian. This investigation is looking into allegations of corruption that centre around Berejiklian's relationship with another political figure with whom she's been romantically linked, former MP Daryl Maguire. Gladys Berejiklian stood down from her role at the start of the month after the shock corruption allegations - insisting she has always acted with integrity. The phone taps ICAC heard today containing all sorts of admissions are being described as extraordinary. Author and hard-core Sydney-sider Peter Fitzsimmons has been following every curious twist and turn.
