Former NSW Premier Engaged in Corrupt Conduct With Secret Lover, ICAC Finds

• Gladys Berejiklian, the popular former premier of New South Wales, Australia failed to report her secret romantic partner's corrupt dealings to the anti-corruption commission.
• Daryl Maguire, Berejiklian's partner and a former MP, exploited his position for personal financial gain through business connections in China.
• The ICAC found that Berejiklian breached the public's trust and her duty as premier by exercising her authority to benefit Maguire without disclosing their relationship.
• While the ICAC did not recommend criminal charges, its scathing report criticized the length of time taken to investigate and release its findings.
• The case highlights the need for reform of the ICAC to avoid damaging delays and establish deadlines as well as the requirement for integrity standards for politicians.
