Jenny West gives evidence at inquiry into John Barilaro's appointment to trade commissioner role

Jenny West, who was originally offered the New York trade job that went to former New South Wales deputy premier John Barilaro, has told a parliamentary inquiry examining the appointment that she was told the job would be 'a present for someone' when the offer was withdrawn.

West was offered the job on 12 August last year, only to have it rescinded a month later after a cabinet decision to make the job a 'political appointment'. In her opening statement to the inquiry, West described the offer and retraction as 'a very disappointing episode in my life'

Candidate told plum US trade job would be a 'present for someone' before Barilaro hired, inquiry hearsThe executive who missed out on NSW's plum New York trade role tells a parliamentary inquiry it was made clear the job 'would be a present for someone', before former NSW deputy premier John Barilaro was hired. And maybe review the obscene half a million dollars that comes with this dodgy job. No doubt all involved will face no consequences.
