Two former NSW MPs interviewed at last minute for senior trade roles, internal emails reveal. abc730 kt_calderwood mariochristo nswpol
The email from August last year — seen by the ABC — shows how Investment NSW sought to hastily accommodate the last-minute interviews.
Ms McKay is a former NSW Labor leader, while Ms Goward is a former NSW Liberal minister and sex discrimination commissioner.Both women were interviewed but neither was appointed."My interest in the role was very well known and supported by the Indian Australian community," Ms McKay told the ABC. The ABC sent detailed questions to the Premier and Investment NSW about who asked for Ms McKay and Ms Goward to be interviewed at such a late stage. The Premier's office deferred the questions to Investment NSW.
A nearly identical email was included in a large tranche of documents released through the NSW parliament late last year.The ABC has seen the version which includes both names.
