Former Wagga Wagga politician Daryl Maguire—who New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian testified she had a personal relationship with—has confessed he used his parliament house office for personal business deals, including a “cash for visa” scheme for Chinese nationals.

Maguire faced the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) Inquiry on Oct. 14, two days after Berejiklian stunned her colleagues by revealing her five-year relationship with the disgraced former state parliamentarian as part of her evidence to the inquiry.
