ICAC not a consideration as Liberals say Berejiklian shifts thinking on federal tilt

Senior Liberals say the pending findings of a corruption inquiry into Gladys Berejiklian will have no bearing on whether the former NSW premier decides to run federally in Warringah.

reported that nominations for the seat had been pushed back to January 14 specifically to give Ms Berejiklian more time to weigh up her options. Ms Berejiklian had told those in the party two weeks ago that she was not prepared to take on independent Zali Steggall in a bid to win back a once safe Liberal seat. But another Liberal source said she has “walked it back considerably” in recent days.“Now it’s, let’s have a think about it.”

LucyCormack '... although any finding of corrupt behaviour would do wonders for her chance of gaining a cabinet spot.'

LucyCormack Let’s put a bet…what’s the probability she’ll destroy the liberals if elected Clue….corrupt!!!

LucyCormack My thoughts on Gladys from my recently-published '(Seventh) Triptych of Poems ... During the Time of the Coronavirus Pandemic' at Otoliths Warringah auspol WarringahVotes 💙 zalisteggall 💙

LucyCormack What's one more crook?

LucyCormack Just treat it as another ball tampering sandpapergate issue. All will be swept under the rug in less than 12 months cos .....straya

LucyCormack Crooks to right, honest to the left, why is the right line not moving as fast as the left😎

LucyCormack They gave that other corrupt individual who procured a free bottle of wine a plush job OS...

LucyCormack Liberal corruption welcome, even more with inept Gladys B.

LucyCormack Too corrupt for Stat Govt, perfect fit for Fed Liberal Govt.

LucyCormack Why am I totally unsurprised that the Liberal don't see corruption as any impediment to standing as a federal candidate? Probably because the entire Liberal Party's default setting is 'Corrupt as f**k'.

LucyCormack Are we being taken for fools?

LucyCormack Will there enquiry into the politicians taking financial incentives from pharmaceutical companies? Remember when journalists, used to investigate things?

LucyCormack Corruption charges have no bearing? What a crazy world we live in.

LucyCormack Surely being found corrupt will tick the box on her suitability for LNP House of Reps?

LucyCormack They might win warrringah with Gladys, but they will lose the rest of the country where she's seen as a crook who brought delta into Australia. Strange decision.

LucyCormack In short, they care more about if she might help boost their numbers than if she's committed a crime.

LucyCormack They’re saying the quiet parts out loud…

LucyCormack Amazing

Pammieoz LucyCormack It might make a difference to voters though Alleged Corruption circles like a bad smell

LucyCormack shiny object dead cat distraction

LucyCormack When Labor wins and implement a tougher icac hopefully she ends up in prison where she belongs!

LucyCormack Imagine if she got elected to Warringah, ICAC referred her to the DPP as a good case for charging, she was found guilty, and given a sentence. It's possible. ICAC don't have people in to see them without a shit ton of evidence.

LucyCormack Are the Libs fucking kidding? Jesus Christ! You have to be kidding. So if Gladys was facing a murder charge she’d still be able to stand for election one presumes? Not even close to passing a pub test…

LucyCormack ah - not sure about that: adverse findings might increase the chances of her being preselected by the LNP, no?

LucyCormack Fairfax Spin Written by Lucy Cormack say no more. Just a Costello LNP shill. LucyCormack answered her own headline. You resign due to corruption. ICAC gladys WarringahVotes

LucyCormack Jesus fucking Christ.

LucyCormack FFS re-read your tweet before posting it - English is a good language to use 😵‍💫

LucyCormack And this just shows how much Integrity the Liberals really have, when Gladys IDontNeedToKnowAboutThatBit Berejiklian is their rising star. This is why we need a FederalICAC

LucyCormack Fine journalism based of hearsay & nameless “Liberal sources” 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Good one janeenorman

LucyCormack Jane Handmaiden Normans take on how a PM of zero credibility, can back a voluntarily resigned ex Premier of NSW in a cloud of ICAC evidential trails. The bases of this backing? ”he knows some people that like Gladys”. There’s the in depth base of this Norman propaganda.

LucyCormack Senior Liberals show that common deceny and not being Corrupt has no bearing on being a politician

LucyCormack Whether or not Gladys is found to have acted corruptly will have no bearing on her future in the LNP? An extraordinary admission.

LucyCormack Please, please, please let GladysB run for Warringah, because she is then sure to lose in one of the most humiliating defeats in LNP history - exactly what this dodgy creature facing charges of corruption deserves. gladysliedpeopledied

LucyCormack

LucyCormack FFS

LucyCormack They’re saying they’re OK with corruption and outright criminal activity. OK.

LucyCormack AlboForPM VoteLabor Vote1Labor

LucyCormack ? LNP hubris must be at bursting point!

LucyCormack gladysliedpeopledied guiltygladys Gladys deliberately ignored the CHO's health advice regarding lockdown in Sydney and as a result, countless people died and the entire nation was plunged into lockdown. Now the LNP want her to run for federal office.

LucyCormack The MrMakeBelieve party making up stuff and you publish it like good little pets.

LucyCormack They only showed us the truth about pork-barreling and fraudulently of public funds for LiberalAus political advantage but GladyB (A) Property was tax payers (B) Advantage tax payer funded adds & Disadvantage other candidates (2) it's Dishonest Fraud LNPCorruptionParty

LucyCormack The liberal party are therefore aok with corruption. What a disgrace.

LucyCormack

LucyCormack

LucyCormack She will be well suited with the rest of the alleged corrupt LNP! 🙄

LucyCormack Fucking, EXCUSE ME These ppl have no shame.

LucyCormack Political suicide for the Liberals if gladysliedpeopledied runs federally in Warringah ! The people of Warringah are smart they won’t want a corrupt politician for their electorate. LNPCorruptionParty have the gall to rubbish the NSWICAC . What else did we expect !

LucyCormack Huh? So if she is found to have breached her ministerial oath, we shrug our shoulders and put Dazz’s mistress into a Federal seat? By her own words, she used taxes to help her “boyfriend”. How low does the bar need to get?

LucyCormack How extremely on brand

LucyCormack Ironically, those senior liberals are more corrupt then her

LucyCormack

LucyCormack Why do the Liberals and Nats seem to think that corruption is just a Norm?

LucyCormack Of course, when the entire LNP clowns are corrupt, to add 1 more is not an issue at all, already 'spoke' the same language, can fit in and hit the ground running immediately

LucyCormack What a disgrace! The LNP are truly bottom of the barrel scum. VoteThemAllOut2022 LNPCorruptionParty LNPCrimeFamily gladysliedpeopledied

LucyCormack Of course they would say that. Thats like saying 'even f she is proven corrupt we will take her anyway'

LucyCormack That LiberalAus is even considering putting GladysB forward as a federal election candidate shows how comfortable with corruption and how detached from reality the party has become under ScottMorrisonMP. Vote independent. Every. Single. Time. IndependentsDay auspol

LucyCormack

LucyCormack Liberal party has truly hit rock bottom

LucyCormack Well for Waringah voters they can still choose Zali should they wish, over any candidate who’s past record shows pork barrels and disregarded pandemic management advice:

LucyCormack So they have no interest in the process or the outcome?

LucyCormack How surprising. The Lieberals treating us voters with contempt. Let it be known this Warringah resident will do everything to keep zalisteggall in and any Coalition member out.

LucyCormack Why not bring back Bronwyn as well?

LucyCormack Unbelievable 🤬

LucyCormack Just another Liberal soldier for the fodder line. No wonder why Liberal MP's stand by Morrison's fakery and corruption.

LucyCormack What?

LucyCormack If true, this proves the LNP will stop at nothing to stay in power. Forget integrity & the value of our independent institutions. If Gladys runs, Zali’s campaign will focus on climate & integrity (or lack there of). Own goal for LNP. Go Zali.

LucyCormack If you suspected that the Libs are prone to corrupt behaviour, then this should remove any doubt. auspol

LucyCormack She should be banned from ever holding office again good lord

LucyCormack They only defence she seemed to have was straight up pork barrelling.

LucyCormack Well done , you really have played your part in subverting justice and eroding democratic institutions. Kudos

LucyCormack It's blindingly obvious that 'senior Liberals' have nothing but contempt for integrity in governance, let alone the slightest respect for those they are paid to govern.

LucyCormack They must have rocks in their head. The notion is just ridiculous. Pathetic. Gladdy has, at the very least, baggage and terrible judgement. At worst…

LucyCormack With a corrupted 'boyfriend ' she can't be that clean, can't she?

LucyCormack Good thinking if you wanna loose LNP pathetic taking the populous for granted never a good policy.

LucyCormack Therefore LNP condones and encourages corruption... even rewards it.

LucyCormack Kakistocracy … a Government run by the least suitable or competent … she’ll fit right in . AuspolSoCorrupt

LucyCormack 🚩🇦🇺

LucyCormack So let me get this straight, whether or not Gladys is found to be corrupt she should still run for a federal seat ? Presumably because in the LNP corruption and hypocrisy are one of the same

LucyCormack That makes complete sense given the Coalitions stance on it's own corruption

LucyCormack No ICAC here !!!

LucyCormack Join us here in Canberra! You'll get away with a lot more than you could in NSW ! Thee are some of the team - judge for yourself!

LucyCormack Root causes for corruption in Sydney include opportunities offered by rezonings and associated land deals. These still exist. Especially since governments want to return to previous high levels of immigration requiring additional housing. Warringah map:

LucyCormack The people (mostly Federal LNP politicians) saying GladysB reputation has been destroyed by the ICAC are lying. She was called before the ICAC to give evidence. No outcome has been determined. Gladys CHOSE to resign her position as Premier.

LucyCormack What's a few more bodies on the pile right?

LucyCormack Why would it? It is just 'accepted in politics', you know 'it's normal'. State or federal, who are they really representing?

LucyCormack The ICAC Findings are the findings & everyone will have to deal with them once released. Any future political career for the ex-premier will need to be on the merits any voters put on her. However the ICAC enquiry was needed as there was & at this stage a cloud over her actions.

LucyCormack You have to be joking? What does someone from the Liberal party have to do to be black listed?

LucyCormack That tells you everything you need to know about the Liberal party & corruption. They revel in it & spit in the face of the electorate. Its a shame that too many people think that this behaviour is acceptable as these politicians continue to make a mockery of the justice system.

LucyCormack her only sin was to conspire with a criminal to commit mal administration ,in breach of ministerial guidelines for integrity an offence under the icac act and in keeping with griner vs icac decision

LucyCormack The Morrison gov'ts support for Gladys and disrespect for ICAC tells us all how little integrity and respect for the law they have. Can't be good for the Community to have such a government.

LucyCormack Liberals admit bad ethics and corruption is OK for them. Stealing from the tax payers.

LucyCormack Of course they do…

LucyCormack

LucyCormack Yeah nah. Not when her own testimony disqualified her from holding any future position of public trust.

LucyCormack ICAC is a show trial with no laws being broken. There is no corruption here, just the normal political gamesmanship to put money into seats that need winning. All seats get money and all parties have pet projects. The real complaint should be this is what ICAC does?

LucyCormack This says all there is to say about the Libs' complete moral bankruptcy.

LucyCormack

LucyCormack Oh yes! The best LNP candidate for Warringah is a corrupt politician. At least they have form.

ana_captures LucyCormack It could be fun to have Gladys in Federal parliament as she will then be subject to Labor’s all powerful new Federal ICAC, who knows what that would shake out of her.

LucyCormack Zali Steggall is an excellent MP who represents the Warringah Electorate with integrity & honesty. Putting Gladys's name up to contest the next election against Zali is a sick political joke.

LucyCormack I’d say the same thing if I was facing certain election wipe out and possible jail time 💁🏼‍♀️🥵🚩🇦🇺👇🏻 gladysliedpeopledied auspol

LucyCormack I guess she fits the LNP mold perfectly where conflict of interest and pork barreling are the norm and of no consequence.

LucyCormack Honestly what message u ( lib establishment) sending that u can have Behave like the former premier, absolutely disgraceful behaviour, how low the NORTH- SHORE morals have dropped and want legitimate it in LEADERSHIP,where the Christians speaking out?

LucyCormack 'a corruption into inquiry Gladys Berijiklian' — start again

LucyCormack This is a test case. How much can journalists change the agenda around corruption? Can they make Australians accept it? The Federal ICAC will destroy too many people that the journalists seem to rely on/care for/support. Or so it appears.

LucyCormack Out of Touch. Arrogant. Wrong. Immoral. Desperate.

LucyCormack Soooo they're openly admitting that corruption places no bearing on MPs? Nice.

LucyCormack Nuremberg 2
