Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Gladys now says that by-elections are buy-athons. The more you throw at the electorate, the more chance you are of winning the by-election she says. Aunty Glad is adamant that the Con didn’t stand out for her as a big deal. It was just one among many by-election promises, and was also part of a […]
The hearing resumes. We learn that Gladys received a ministerial briefing about the ICAC Operation Dasha, the one had that caught Dazzler with his pants down and his hands in the till. The briefing contained allegations about the Dazzler’s dealings while a member of parliament. Robertson starts again down the road of wanting to know […]
The morning has been spent as a tennis match, with Counsel Assisting Scott Robertson hitting balls at Gladys and the former Premier hitting them back. Gladys has obviously been trained up over the weekend by the new boyfriend – lawyer Arthur Moses – and has come back today such a different seeming person that you’d […]
Robertson slowly, meticulously takes Gladys apart. He wants to know why, once she knew that he had been summoned by ICAC, she didn’t start to wonder about Daryl’s other dealings. “Because I trusted him” she says. Over, and over, and over. She says because she trusted him she wasn’t interested. Robertson tells her she is […]
Gladys tells Maguire that she is interested in knowing what his lawyers think. Maguire just keeps ranting on. “Everyone is dodgy!” he cries. Daryl is talking about himself of course. The recording stops. Then starts again. Gladys keeps digging, asking him more and more about what ICAC have given him. Daryl says he doesn’t know. […]
Daryl tells Gladys they could even be taping this call. He obviously doesn’t realise the bitter truth of what he is saying. They are tapping his phone and taping the call. We are hearing it. But still he rants on. Gladys isn’t real bright either. She doesn’t hang up. I bet she wishes now that […]
Robertson has Gladys cold. Maguire has told her in the tapped call that he has been involved with property developers, and that he has made representations on their behalf. He had told her on a tapped call this morning that he was going to make $1.5 million from a deal with a developer. Gladys says […]
Daryl tells Gladys again that he had nothing to do with anything crooked. Gladys asks him if they are trying to say he did. “Yes” he tells her. Then he says the others might have been on the dodge, but not him. Anyone who believes that believes in a flat earth too. Daryl just keeps […]
Maguire keeps lying through his teeth to Gladys. It doesn’t sound like she believes him. Finally for the first time in all of the recordings played Maguire asks Gladys how she is. Stressed for him she says. Then he starts ranting and raving about himself again. “I must have killed a black cat and killed […]
You can’t even have a conversation with anyone anymore. They are all taping it. That is what Maguire says on the tape. Famous last words for him too. It’s just all bullshit he says. It’s like the Spanish Inquisition. They could be taping your conversation with me right now. You wouldn’t know. It’s all just […]
