Gladys Berejiklian has described revelations of her secret relationship with a fellow parliamentarian as “humiliating and embarrassing”.
She then proceeded to discuss the details at length in a media blitz in which she was asked if she had engaged in same-sex encounters; confessed she had "given up on love"; and said she wanted to marry the man she was having a relationship with but who was not her boyfriend.
After a week of damaging revelations at the corruption commission raising questions about her judgment over a secret relationship with disgraced MP Daryl Maguire that threaten her grip on the top job, the Premier conducted interviews with Sunday Telegraph gossip columnist Annette Sharp, radio's Ben Fordham and FM radio duo Kyle and Jackie O.
