Jenny West today told a NSW parliamentary inquiry how she was offered the job of trade commissioner to the US before the offer was withdrawn and the job was given to former deputy premier John Barilaro. Here's everything you need to know about today's developments.

Jenny West went from planning her family's move to New York to being unemployed in a matter of weeks.

She says she began making plans to move to New York and even contacted a removalist company when her boss, Investment NSW CEO Amy Brown, started to raise issues with her appointment. "On 27th of September 2021, Ms Brown told me that cabinet had endorsed the request for senior trade commissioner roles to become political appointments."In the space of four weeks, I went from having been appointed to the role of the senior trade and investment commissioner for the Americas to potentially not having a job.Ms West was later made redundant from the department entirely and received a statutory payout for being "terminated with no cause".

Ms West read the inquiry an email she wrote to her lawyers immediately after that meeting, where she recounted that Ms Brown had met with Minister Stuart Ayres earlier.

Why do the Liberals despise women in positions of power?

Another Disgruntled Public Servant

Wait ... so stuartayresmp hasn't resigned yet? 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your headline is too kind when it comes to LNP corruption.

Everyone with fingerprints on this needs to be sacked or called to account. Appalling that we treat people this way and the back door manipulation is disgusting.

take the case to court

KatBarclay2 Wow what Amy Brown did is just appalling.

Well that really supports the women scorn and say anything to get back at the government. She will certainly be more unemployable now

Just like half the population of Australia being sacked for not allowing mRNA poison to be injected into their bodies.

well if she was that good and they were praising her .. why is she unemployed ? lol ... saying she was 'exceptional' .. makes no sense .. she is either exceptional or not .. if she is then why let her go ? something else is suss here .. more made up crap ?

If that’s how NSW treats it’s best how do they treat those that are powerless……
