Wow. She step down?

Yep because of the ICAC investigation. Not covid related.

Stepping down due to investigation

As it happened: Berejiklian's bombshell resignation 'right decision'

Gladys Berejiklian says she will resign from NSW's top job, and the Parliament, amid the "darkest days in the state's history". Her shock departure has been praised as the "right decision" by experts and the opposition.

www.abc.net.au

NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is investigating whether Premier Gladys Berejiklian breached public trust when she awarded grants to several community organisations between 2012 and 2018

Probably Dominic

 

[Twizzle]

I bet she is a lot happier, she looked pretty stressed for a ling time

 

[IFR33K]

Probably Dominic

Well there goes his plan of becoming premier

 

[Bandwagon]

I bet she is a lot happier, she looked pretty stressed for a ling time

Yeah, pretty much since she fronted ICAC last year and had to refute any knowledge of a whole heap of shit her boyfriend was up to.

She’s being investigated by the corruption commission for multiple instances of her betraying public trust. I doubt she is sleeping easy, nor should she be.

 

[strider]

Dunno why its being discussed in the covid thread

But in terms of that, she probably handled it all better than any other premier in this country

 

[Soren Lorenson]

f**ken hell. Is Barilaro the acting premier now?

 

[strider]

f**ken hell. Is Barilaro the acting premier now?

Probably ... someone poke him and wake him up

Assume someone will get appointed next week ... barilaro has a long weekend to run amok

 

[Gronk]

They said they would put guns in every school to protect the kids. Nek minute.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Blazers out on your letterbox for Gladys? Really?

I tried but Damian Lillard just wouldn't have a bar of it

 

[Incorrect]

Shit way for her to go out, but I reckon tonight she sleeps like a log, probably polishes off a bottle of plonk and finally gets a bit of solid shut eye...might not wake up until Sunday!!!

She did a good job, pity she got involved with a pathetic weasel....

As a double ouch, I read a couple of weeks back that if she served until Feb 2022, she would qualify for some of the perks for ex-premiers (eg driver, office, staff, etc). The duration required to serve as a premier were increased before she came in to the top job.... Damn!

 

[Bandwagon]

Yeah, she didn't come to be premier being some poor doe eyed s**t lured astray by love for some shitstain rorting the f**k outta his position. I know that's the spin put on it, but seriously, she was very aware that there was some untoward shit going down, and she either knowingly turned a blind eye to it, or worse participated and or enabled it.
