John Barilaro told a parliamentary committee the NSW premier told him it was"great" he intended to apply for a lucrative trade commissioner role.
The scandal over Mr Barilaro's appointment has engulfed the Perrottet government since it was announced in June, claiming the scalp of minister Stuart Ayres after a draft review suggested he might have intervened in the hiring process. "Since my announcement as a trade commissioner to the Americas, and the unbearable past six to seven weeks, what I've come to learn is that my decade of fighting for others did resonate with many," Mr Barilaro said.
Former deputy Liberal leader and trade minister Stuart Ayres resigned from cabinet last week after a review indicated the minister wasn't at arm's length from the hiring process and may have breached the ministerial code of conduct.
So what didn't he know before?
Bullshit!
You can steal more money with a briefcase than a gun.
Has no idea about honesty
What a load of horse poo. Just another way of saying that if I knew I was gonna get caught, I wouldn’t have gone there. Just another lying cheating scheming dirty corrupt politician feasting on the Australian taxpayers’ wallet. DirtyBarilaro
LeftOfCentre7 Must be hot in there, poor guy is working up quite a sweat.
Everything wrong with NSW leadership right here This LNP grifter was once in a leadership position managing billions of tax payers dollars in NSW Surely, is this the best leadership NSW has to offer? Oh right, Dominic Francis Perrottet 💩 Yep digging our way to the bottom
“If I could read the future and know ahead of time that this shady stuff would be exposed, I never would have done it.”
Little man of little honour
What a liar!
The trauma of being caught is difficult, to be fair. 🙄
Dude, you are the shtshow!
Crossfires lead to more casualties..
LIAR!!!

John Barilaro corrupt to the core. No, you are not a victim, the Australian tax payer is.
Barilaro wishes he hadn’t applied for the job he tailor-made for himself? Pleeeease!
Those big eyes glistening with tears were truly touching
So self-entitled, Barilaro cannot see that anything a govt does for mates should ever be considered corrupt! 'It's just notmal'. 😠😠
Wear a tie! 😶
More stress leave ahead
If I knew I would get caught, I’d have done it differently right….
Training for his next role as director of a bus company, he’s also thrown Matt Kean under, as being Matt’s fault too for not telling him there would be any issues about him applying 🤦🏽
Throwing people under the bus. Poor old Bruz. 'I wish I'd never applied if I knew I was going to get caught.'
If I'd known that I'd be caught out & publicly strung out for applying for this plum job, I'd never have bothered. I would have angled for a cushy corporate job like Gladys' instead.
Oh, poor guy got caught, that's why he's upset 😂
Crocodile tears.
just a corrupt C..USELESS C
He'll develop a limp soon to garner even more pity besides his mental problems,which should of disqualified him from this overseas job to start with.

aparachick This ...just happened to him...so unlucky...
If I'd known this would be difficult due to ethical reasons and public scrutiny, I wouldn't have done it... If I'd known I'd be caught and go to jail for robbing a bank, I wouldn't have done it. Jeez
If you knew you were going to be caught out you would never have applied....
Pretending to be the victim, he probably thinks NSW taxpayers are Muppets and can't see through his charade
Barilaro's defence, pushing Perrottet under the bus.
Poor John. I hope SBS has the world's smallest violin music to accompany this reporting.
Well someone is a bad liar
