NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet will come under more pressure over the controversial appointment of John Barilaro as US trade commissioner after he admitted two similar positions were mistakenly reviewed by cabinet.
Perrottet insists it happened in error and the mistake was not repeated when Barilaro was appointed to the plum $500,000-a-year trade role in New York, which the former deputy premier created when he was trade minister. “The advice I’ve received is that was submitted to cabinet in error and the correct process was followed in relation to the subsequent four appointments,” Perrottet said.
Minutes before revealing the trade appointments did go to cabinet, Perrottet told parliament that exposing the roles to that very process could have raised compliance risks.

Changing rules for recruitment of new trade commissioners discussed days before Barilaro quit politicsIn the days before John Barilaro announced his plans to leave politics, emails show bureaucrats discussing changing the rules for the recruitment of new trade commissioners, then deciding the plum US role would be handled 'as an internal matter'.
