Gladys must go

 Oh dear our Gladys has appeared before ICAC and it appears truth is stranger than fiction. See HERE for example.

She never told anyone of this relationship although the Ministerial code says she should have.

For Gladys it  an earthshaking moment. A man thought highly of her. It would not occur very often as she is not attractive. This can be the only explanation why it took her so long to realise the truth of the matter concerning Maguire. She knew he was going down the wrong path but did nothing.

He is the archetype of the greedy politician who is only in it to make as much money as he could. He always had grandiose schemes to kame money but few came to fruition.

This never bothered her at all. It can only be explained by the fact she must have been a very lonely woman. She simply rationalised his behaviour away. As I said previously she never tried to change his ways. Indeed at one stage on the phone she says don't tell me. how revealing.

Imagine what was said in bed! It is simply incomprehensible he di not rattle off his get rich schemes to her.  He may have been a bad rat but he was her bad rat.

Even when Maguire had to resign from Parliament the lights never went on.  She only stopped the relationship once the matters were sent to ICAC.

It never occurred to her Maguire was using her. When the relationship started she was deputy leader of the Liberal party in NSW.  Why would Maguire ,who is no chick magnet, pursue her.  She is unattractive, hardly an intellectual giant but very important person in the liberal party. She was a mover and shaker in the parliamentary party and seen as the heir apparent to Baird. 

From the phone calls we heard Maguire never asked for special treatment but Gladys knew exactly where he was situated. This is possibly the only smart thing Maguire did.   As I said just imagine what they tlaked about in bed with each other. Maguire made sure She knew how each 'project' was going so it was always at the back of her mind. She never told anyone of this conflict of interest because presumably of her high moral standing (sarc).

Yet she never told anyone of her relationship at all.  In essence she wood-ducked a lot of people and her judgement is shown to be terrible.

This all means to me she should resign. That there is no heir apparent is irrelevant.

I should also say I found it fascinating to compare our gladys with Julia Gillard.

Neither woman had relationships with married men UNTIL that marriage was in essence over yet Gillard was labelled a family wrecker. Only the Murdoch press could do that.
