Operation Keppel began as a probe into Maguire but was expanded to the coalition premier after she was compelled to reveal the relationship in public hearings in 2020.Berejiklian resigned as premier in October 2021, when she officially became part of the investigation.It found Berejiklian breached the public trust in 2016 and 2017 in relation to funding promised to the Wagga Wagga-based Australian Clay Target Association.
“ without disclosing her close personal relationship with Mr Maguire, when she was in a position of a conflict of interest between her public duty and her private interest, which could objectively have the potential to influence the performance of her public duty,” ICAC said in its report.
