John Barilaro

An inquiry has found the appointment of John Barilaro to a lucrative New York trade job had all the “trademarks of a jobs for the boys” position.

Amy Brown was of the central figures in the John Barilaro appointment saga, as the former CEO of Investment NSW, the government body responsible for hiring senior trade investment commissioners.

John Barilaro has told an inquiry that he is the “victim” in the saga surrounding the $500,000 New York trade commissioner position.

Jenny West, the woman first offered the trade commissioner job controversially given to John Barilaro, has shared some bombshell revelations.

Berejiklian was unperturbed by Barilaro’s efforts to undermine the stability of her government, and her leadership of the NSW government is now stronger for it.
