"I regarded him as a, part of my love circle, part of people that I strongly cared for, but I, I wouldn't have put him in the same category as my parents or my sisters," Ms Berejiklian told ICAC. IN OTHER NEWS: Ms Berejiklian was shown a text message where she told Mr Maguire he was "family".
"I had those feelings but I was never assured of a level of commitment which, in my mind, regarded as sufficiently significant to declare," Ms Berejiklian said. Mr Robertson asked why she did not declare these "feelings of love" for Mr Maguire when she was involved in meetings to decide funding for Wagga's The Range clay target function centre and Riverina Conservatorium of Music. Counsel assisting ICAC Scott Robertson asked "do you agree or disagree with what Mr Maguire said in relation to the hallmarks of your personal relationship with him?" "I agree to those comments," Ms Berejiklian replied and confirmed that she gave Mr Maguire a key to her Sydney home. Ms Berejiklian confirmed Mr Maguire's testimony to ICAC on Thursday that the pair were in love and talked about getting married and having a child prior to the relationship ending in August 2020. Ms Berejiklian told the Independent Commission Against Corruption on Friday that the relationship, which spanned her time as treasurer and premier, did not represent a conflict of interest in grants worth $35.5 million for Wagga. Former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has repeatedly denied under oath that she should have disclosed her secret relationship with then Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.
