NSW Liberals unite in ‘rebuke’ to Hawke over election fiasco; former deputy premier John Barilaro to face inquiry into his appointment as a US trade commissioner. Follow updates here.
John Barilaro’s appearance before a NSW parliamentary inquiry has kicked off. In an opening statement, he says:
“I refute any suggestion of wrongdoing. I refute the suggestion that I created a STIC America rule for myself through a cabinet submission to make these appointments statutory appointments, including the unsworn statement by my former chief of staff that I would create a role in New York. “Since my announcement as the trade commissioner to the Americas and the unbearable past six to seven weeks, what I have come to learn is that my decade of fighting for others did resonate for many. I want to thank those who reached out and supported me over these weeks, strangers, family, friends and colleagues from all sides of politics and many business leaders.
