John Barilaro told a parliamentary committee the NSW premier told him it was"great" he intended to apply for a lucrative trade commissioner role.
The scandal over Mr Barilaro's appointment has engulfed the Perrottet government since it was announced in June, claiming the scalp of minister Stuart Ayres after a draft review suggested he might have intervened in the hiring process. "Since my announcement as a trade commissioner to the Americas, and the unbearable past six to seven weeks, what I've come to learn is that my decade of fighting for others did resonate with many," Mr Barilaro said.
Former deputy Liberal leader and trade minister Stuart Ayres resigned from cabinet last week after a review indicated the minister wasn't at arm's length from the hiring process and may have breached the ministerial code of conduct.
