ICAC Report: “There are findings of corrupt conduct against two individuals who were associated with this parliament. There are some serious recommendations”, Speaker Greg Piper.
The New South Wales (NSW) Parliament has received the much-anticipated Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) report detailing an investigation into the conduct of former Premier Gladys Berejiklian and ex-MP Daryl Maguire. The report includes findings of corrupt conduct against both individuals, accompanied by serious recommendations.
The ICAC’s Operation Keppel has been investigating allegations of misconduct against the former Premier and ex-MP for several months. Today, Speaker Greg Piper presented the report to the parliament, stating, “There are findings of corrupt conduct against two individuals who were associated with this parliament. There are some serious recommendations.”
The long awaited report suggests that Ms Berejiklian must have known that she was not entitled to refuse to exercise her official functions for her own private interests. It also implicates Daryl Maguire in improperly using his position in parliament to advance his own financial interests.
The ICAC’s findings of corrupt conduct against a former Premier and an ex-MP represent a significant moment in NSW political history. The report’s serious recommendations signal potential reforms to prevent such incidents in the future.
Although the details of the recommendations are yet to be fully disclosed, they are expected to address the need for greater transparency, accountability, and integrity within the parliament.
“The findings are clear, and they are serious,” said Speaker Piper. “We need to take these recommendations seriously and ensure that we do everything possible to maintain the trust of the people we represent.”
As NSW Parliament begins to digest the findings and recommendations of the ICAC report, the focus now shifts to how these revelations will shape the future of politics in the state. The implications of this report are far-reaching, signalling a critical moment of introspection and potential reform within the NSW political landscape.
