An anti-corruption watchdog will hand down its long-awaited findings into former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian next week.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) report, two and a half years in the making, will be released at 9am next Thursday.
“The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will furnish its Operation Keppel investigation report, concerning the then member of Parliament for Wagga Wagga, the then premier, and others, to the Presiding Officers at the NSW Parliament on Thursday, 29 June 2023 at 9am,” ICAC said in a statement today.
The ICAC inquiry examined whether Berejiklian had breached public trust while she was in a secret relationship with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.
The relationship was revealed publicly for the first time during questioning at the ICAC hearings.
Berejiklian announced her shock resignation as premier in October 2021 after it emerged she was under investigation.

She has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Maguire had been forced to quit NSW parliament in July 2018 after a corruption inquiry scrutinised his property deals.
The report’s release has been delayed twice, once in October last year and again in January, due to the “complex matters of law and fact”.
The findings have been made after two public inquiries over 30 days of hearings, more than 2800 pages of transcript, 516 exhibits containing 10,600 pages and 957 pages of submissions.
