'Let me finish': Berejiklian fires back, survives no-confidence motions in dramatic day

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has survived no-confidence motions in both houses in a day filled with angry exchanges over her relationship with disgraced former MP Daryl Maguire.Ms Berejiklian continues to be scrutinised about whether she knew of disgraced MP Daryl Maguire's wrongdoingsThe motions were defeated 38 ayes to 47 noes in the Lower House, and 21 to 20 in the Upper House.

Wednesday saw the fieriest stoushes yet, coinciding with Mr Maguire facing an Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry where he admitted using his parliamentary office for business deals.

"Excuse me, let me finish, Let me finish, OK? I've given you your turn for the last three days. Let me finish," she said. "I know the people of this state know that I have done nothing wrong. I appreciate the questions you all need to ask and I've answered them in full detail, but you also have to respect my position as premier and let me do my job.

A no-confidence vote means nothing and the result is always on party lines. We the people will be the actual confidence vote that will tell in the end

Since when was 'confidence' considered above the LAW against corruption?

'let me finish' oh we wish you would and sooner rather than later.

Who is the silly bugger putting this rubbish woman away? Should have one to spec savers

Likes a bit of hoofey mcgoofty

Glady’s future hanging by a thread.

Her personal life is hardly news worthy. Please give us real need . There's worse things to worry about than this 🙄

sackgladys whereispeta

I'll give you the same advice I got from many a bouncer: You can finish that but then you have to get out.

Omg,if this was a Man with a sneaky,cheating,backstabbing user as a partner nobody would say anything

GuiltyGladys aka KoalaKiller lives on but NSW looses again🤷‍♂️

Please finish - RESIGN.

Hang in there Gladys

Funnily enough, that’s what she said to Daryl.

Sack her! She knew what he was up to. That's clear enough on all the tapes!!

People who lie under oath should not be able to self-identify as Christian, just as meat eaters don’t get to call themselves vegetarians.

There you go , when three is not a crowd ..

The captain of the side ignores rule breaking at their own personal peril. Ask Steve Smith stevesmith49 GladysB nswpol icac goodbyegladys

I wonder if the names of the people who supported her in this no confidence motion will be revealed? Lots of people want to know who the other corrupt pollies are.

Sorry Gladis but the only time someone ever sez 'dont tell me' is when they know there about to hear something that's illegal or really bad!!

Gladys, by the skin of her teeth, survived. ABC confidently announced vote of no confidence was defeated. Dan Andrews survived with double the votes and Victorian ABC still gave the last word to opposition. The ABCs bias for the past 2 years has been overwhelmingly right.

Sack your boyfriend on suspicion of corruption, keep the relationship going & only stop it when you need to appear at ICAC.There is no “pub test” that this is going to pass.This is a we have such little expectation of pollies that this is OK?

It's in her own body language that she knew quite well what her boyfriend was up to

She must be under pressure. She hasn't been campaigning for the QLD election over the last few days.

Survived by one vote There’s no smoke without fire 🔥

Hopefully when she goes she drops all these dodgy developers like lend lease in the shit as payback.

Corrupt and incompetent. GuiltyGladys

GladysB is no saint she just repeats what she is told to say at media appearances , absolutely unconscionable as she is in breach of the office she holds by a hair right now by not reporting maguire fr years ago which hopefully ICAC exposes b4 she destroys more of Sydney & NSW

we are doing just that 'FINISH' resign for god sakes!

Why are Labor still playing by Westminster rules in parliament, considering the LNP have torn them up, wiped their collective bottoms on them, then set them on fire. GuiltyGladys koalakiller GladysMustGo

The ICAC found 16 breaches of corrupt conflicts of interest and she lied under oath which is a crime. A single breach would be enough to demand Labor to stand down. The lack of accountability in the LNP is staggering. I don't vote for no accountability nswpol AusPol AusPol2020

More inciting hate & rage from the ABC, sad 😢.

Seriously it's none of our business. It's her private life. If only the media hounded Andrews like they have with Gladys over something that's actually caused deaths.

Let me finish .... probably five seconds before the conference is over. Another ‘question avoiding’ stock answer from loser politicians 👎

Good on you Gladys! 👍👍👍👍👍

No. You’re finished. GladysMustGo

Go get ‘em, Gladys!! Female politicians are going to battle everyday and they won’t be silenced or cut off. Not Kamala, not Gladys. Not today, not tomorrow.

You're already finished. Resign.

ResignGladys

Finished

scomo's shouty approach to scrutiny. he's trained her well

When your boyfriend admits a “cash for visa scheme” in $15k cash increments in Parliamentary office and you continue to be the Premier of state 🤔🤔🤔

No confidence vote was 20-20 split.

She’s one lucky person

Think Gladys means: I AM finished! The 💩💩💩keeps getting deeper...😬THIS won't wash🙊🙉🙈‼ GladysMustGo

Bummer. I'd hoped she would 'finish' and resign.

Something Maguire whispered in her ear many a night..

I hope someone asks why she made truly massive cuts to ICAC's budget a few years ago. Coincidence? I've given up on our media doing it. They're too busy painting her as an innocent victim.

Keep supporting the corruption

New South Wales Opposition moves motion of no confidence in Premier Gladys Berejiklian | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has faced a motion of no confidence against her in the state parliament as she fended off attacks from Opposition Leader Jodi McKay about her secret relationship with disgraced former MP Daryl Maguire.\n\nMs McKay accused the Premier of turning a blind eye to corruption in her government by failing to report her knowledge of Daryl Maguire's business dealings.\n\nThe NSW Labor Leader also accused Ms Berejiklian of failing to manage conflicts of interest in her government including a failure to report discussions she had with Mr Maguire over alleged commission he was earning from business deals.\n\nDuring Question Time, the opposition leader asked the premier why she had not reported Mr Maguire's actions sooner, accusing the government of running a protection racket after the leader of the house raised a Point of Order on the question.\n\nThe premier responded by stating she was happy to answer the question despite fierce interjection from those opposite.\n\n'The public and the opposition deserve to know their premier, at all times, has upheld and fulfilled their obligations in relation to all matters,' Ms Berejiklian said.\n\n'At all times, I have acted in accordance with the highest levels of my responsibilities in accordance with those obligations, legal or otherwise, because that's what a premier does.\n\n'I think everybody would argue, whether or not they choose to support or believe me, that I was full and frank in my evidence yesterday, I've remained full and frank in relation to every question I've been asked.'\n\n'You're delusional. You think if you say it, it will be true,' Ms McKay interjected.\n\n GladysB JodiMcKayMP For Christ sakes, who cares who’s D she likes.

GladysB JodiMcKayMP It's not the sex, it's her helping her 'boyfriend' get his money back through investments that's the kick in the teeth. GladysB JodiMcKayMP If McKay shut her mouth after asking a question, we would get an answer. She reminded me of a little girl who had her doll taken away from her with her temper tantrum. Very immature.
