A parliamentary inquiry into the appointment of former New South Wales deputy premier John Barilaro as the state's trade commissioner to the US will begin today.The upper house inquiry will investigate the appointment and recruitment process.
The man believed to be behind the murder of underworld figure Mahmoud "Brownie" Ahmad has been arrested. Ahmad was no stranger to the gangland world, having recently served jail time over the fatal shooting of a man outside a Condell Park smash repair shop in 2016.More than two-and-a-half-years ago, Commissioner Dan Howard handed the report to the NSW government.
"Several of the recommendations speak specifically to the vital role GPs play in helping people with alcohol and other drug issues. We have the road map in front of us. Now is the time for the NSW government to dust off the report and act because these problems will not go away," Professor Hespe said.Rail staff will today vote on whether to escalate their industrial action.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union is demanding modifications to the fleet, which it says are needed to allow its members to operate the trains safely. "This case is directly linked to a previously identified property, which shows the prompt and efficient response by the Department of Primary Industries is working well," said Agriculture Minister Dugald Saunders.
The protesters arrested are facing fines of up to $22,000 and up to two years in jail under new anti-protest laws passed by the NSW parliament earlier this year.
live: Sydney: Upper House inquiry to investigate the recruitment process of John Barilaro's New York role. Where is ICAC?
As an outsider, private person and with much better qualification than Mr Barilaro, could I apply for that plum job in NY, please?
A positive outcome wont suddenly make this go away. A can of Glen 20 cant cover the stench
Will I get sue if I say 'oink' 'oink'?
If this Barilaro inquiry gets shoved under the carpet, then Perriteh must go.
It’ll go the way of every other commission, committee, investigation etc etc it’s not great but not illegal etc etc and the news cycle moves on to the next corruption story.
