Maguire-Berejiklian phone call of 15 Nov 2017 is important for the information it contains about Gladys Berejiklian's reaction to having her email address provided a property developer seeking her intervention

She knew Maguire took property developer Louise Waterhouse to Berejiklian’s office and arranged a meeting with Jock Sowter from the Roads Minister’s office. She denied knowing about it, until ICAC played a recorded phone call in which he told her. #nswpol

Opposition Leader Jodie McKay's comments add to the mystery of Berejiklian's lack of concern about her email being provided property developers


As reported by News.com.au and others: 

A phone call between the Premier and Mr Maguire on November 15, 2017, which was aired during her questioning, the former Wagga Wagga MP asked Ms Berejiklian whether she had received the email (from property developer Louise Waterhouse).

After she answered “no”, Mr Maguire said: “You will. She’ll send you an email. She’s really pissed off now so um, about the you know, the, the airport.”

What ought to be of interest to any investigator is the fact that Premier Gladys Berejiklian did not seem to react in any way when told that a property developer had sent an email to her personal  email address. 

That silence is maintained even when she is told that the email concerns a matter over which the developer is " really pissed off". 


The transcript of the proceedings during which the above was stated is reported in context by The Guardian (see below. It is not hard to see that ICAC did not concern itself with the issue of why Berejiklian was not angered or concerned that her boyfriend had facilitated, by providing a private email address, a property developer access to her. 

Most adults will understand that what matters to a commission agent, broker or facilitator is to be seen and to prove that he or she has access to the people who matter, in this case the Premier of NSW Gladys Berejiklian. As the adult Premier Of NSW , and as a former banker, Berejiklian would have understood all that, even if it escapes ICAC.
