John Barilaro pulls out of second appearance at US trade job inquiry for mental health reasons

A statement on the committee's web page read: "Friday's meeting with Mr Barilaro has been cancelled due to mental health reasons."Mr Barilaro was appointed to the position despite a senior bureaucrat at the state's investment agency earlier being identified as a preferred candidate.

The committee has expanded the terms of reference for its inquiry and is now investigating the appointment of all the state's trade commissioners.Parts of the inquiry have also focused on the appointment of former Business Australia executive Stephen Cartwright as the London agent-general. On Tuesday, text messages between Ms Brown and other government department secretaries were revealed, showing their reaction to news reports of Mr Barilaro's appointment in June.

Mr Barilaro's appointment is also subject to a Department of Premier and Cabinet review led by former NSW public commissioner Graeme Head.

The Anglo mob have been looking after their own since 1788!

There's a thing called 👇👇👇👇👇

Yeah, I C A C now; proceed without him if need be.

My “mental health” would be pretty bad too if i was as corrupt as Bruz and got found out. Time to face the music there “pork-Barilaro”, so get your arse in the chair and prepare to be pineappled.

If he pulls the ‘trauma’ card I may spew just little in my mouth. As a Vet with PTSD I find politicians using trauma to hide behind their shitty behaviour to be distasteful at best. crymeariverbruz

Throw the book at him.
