Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese has defended NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian as she faces a motion of no confidence over a secret relationship with a disgraced former MP.

Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese has defended NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian as she faces a motion of no confidence over aMs Berejiklian, a Liberal, admitted she"stuffed up" in her personal life on Monday after details of her close relationship with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire were revealed during an Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry.

"She certainly shouldn't be judged for the fact that she has a relationship with someone. That is her business, as far as I'm concerned. Consenting adults. That is no-one's business except for hers." Former Labor leader Bill Shorten shared a similar sentiment during an interview on Today, describing the situation as"pretty human"."She's a smart lady who I think has been punching below her weight with perhaps a much more average guy," he said.

Good to see decent politicians sticking up for each other. The haters and vindictive can go jump.

Wow!

Respect to him. Now I know why he’s a better leader than his predecessor

Good to see this is a bi-partisan non political issue, how many women (or men) have fallen for the wrong person

I wonder what the Liberals would say if a Labor politician had been caught out having a hidden, long-term relationship with a crook. Better here, AlboMP, to say nothing.

My respect for Albanese has just gone up a couple of notches, instead of playing politics, doing and saying the right thing.

AustralianLabor this is why you need to get rid off Albo. We need to hold all the LNP governments accountable.

This shows that Albo is a person who can divorce public life as against private affairs. It is a pty there are not more on these forums

Are u kidding me? She was clearly complicit! And u wonder why the liberals are running a corrupt circus!!!! It's because 😤 Our opposition is piss weak! Dear Labor.. please get urself a leader with b$.... auspol

All_4justice ummmm WHY is Albo defending Gladys B🤦‍♂️😒

It’s not about her dodgy sex life it’s about her lying to ICAC. She lied several times when asked about Maguire’s dealing and then they played the tapes. She tried to get away with the lies but got caught out. That is an offence with a 5 year jail term. Corruption

Gladys Berejiklian could be undone by the bombshell no-one saw comingThe revelations that Gladys Berejiklian has been in a relationship with Daryl Maguire for five years, despite him being at the centre of corruption inquiries, are as shocking as they are unfathomable. Gladys has spent 6 months attacking Palaszczuk at every opportunity in a political campaign designed to help Morrison & the QLD LNP to profit politically. How can a person who has been so dishonest in her own personal & professional life have the gall to attack the QLD Premier? Perhaps Peta Credlin could be let loose to interrogate her and leave Daniel Andrews alone. After all he is trying to be the bests leader he can, while Gladys has been caught out making a very poor leadership judgement.

PM distances himself from Gladys Berejiklian scandalPrime Minister Scott Morrison has distanced himself from the NSW premier after bombshell evidence emerged of her relationship with a former MP under investigation for corruption. Have been watching GladysB being examined by ICAC today...at times comes across like doughy eyed school girl in puppy love taken by a player (Maguire). Some amazing revaluations. Add a mix of Waterhouse and its another great NSW government scandal. Lets keep it secret . He doesn't hold a hose so I guess he doesn't want to get involved in her illicit affair.

I just hope she doesn’t resign over this. If she does we might as well say goodbye to NSW economy
