The NSW corruption watchdog has determined Gladys Berejiklian engaged in “serious corrupt conduct” as it hands down its bombshell report.

The New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption has made"serious corrupt conduct findings" against former premier Gladys Berejiklian and Daryl Maguire.The watchdog’s Executive Director of Corruption Prevention Lewis Rangott tabled the report to Parliament’s presiding officers on Thursday before it the much-anticipated findings were released publicly.

But shortly after taking the stand, Ms Berejiklian revealed she had been engaged in a close romantic relationship with the embattled ex-MP since at least 2015. “I state categorically I have always acted with the highest level of integrity,” she said in an emotional but defiant statement. With the state under new leadership with Dominic Perrottet at the time, Ms Berejiklian was free to launch an unwavering defence of her actions as treasurer and premier.

Under the ICAC act, MPs are required to alert the body if they have any suspicion of corrupt conduct which served as a key pillar of Operation Keppel’s inquiries into Ms Berejiklian. Later ICAC also quizzed the former premier on why she failed to reveal her relationship with the disgraced MP during ERC meetings on the two grants.

Mr Baird said while he had never witnessed his then-treasurer act in a “partial or biased” manner relating to Mr Maguire and the grants, he believed she should have nonetheless disclosed the relationship to him as premier.
