Gladys Berejiklian and the disgraced former MP: could a 'close personal relationship' bring down the premier?

The revelations at Icac have prompted the question: did the Liberal leader turn a blind eye to Daryl Maguire's actions?

In early September 2017, the New South Wales premier, Gladys Berejiklian, spent a busy morning visiting sick and dying children at Sydney's Westmead hospital when her phone rang.

On the other end of the line was a jubilant Daryl Maguire, then the Liberal member for Wagga Wagga. It wasn't what you might imagine a typical call from a local MP to the state's premier would sound like.
