Former deputy premier was scheduled to face second day of questioning over his appointment to senior New York trade job

concerns about “the advised relationship” between her office and property developer Coronation PropertiesThose concerns, he wrote, had “crystalised” after he placed a stop-work order on a major residential development owned by the company earlier this year. The premier has insisted his decision to sack Petinos was not related to Chandler’s letter.

The letter, which details problems Chandler allegedly had with Petinos, revealed he raised concerns about what he described as “the advised relationship” between the minister and Coronation. Barilaro joined Coronation as an executive director after quitting parliament, and had worked for the company prior to his appointment to the New York trade job in June.Barilaro says that while the “stop-work order concerned me”, it was not discussed at the meeting. He said he “made it clear at the time” that it was not his intention to discuss it.

Barilaro’s appointment is also subject to a separate review led by former NSW public commissioner Graeme Head, which is due to be released shortly. A draft excerpt from that review led to Ayres’ resignation. Another review, led by prominent silk Bruce McClintock SC, is now examining whether Ayres breached the ministerial code.

Well enough to go to New York because he can do the job better than anyone else, but not well enough to answer a few questions. I wish these corrupt pollies would have the guts to face up to what they've done. nswpol

Asking for respect for him and his “family”. Oh please

Maybe a pre-employment medical would have sorted everything out.

St John of the Pork Barrel plays the Jones/Skase/Pell/Doyle card.

Liar

And I'm pretty sure that 'ill health' would have magically disappeared if he got the job. What a lowlife scumbag.

Bare faced LIAR

Oh, poor bruz! _JohnBarilaroMP

Not to make light of mental health issues, but 🤦🏻‍♂️ FFS it seems like a useful foil… 🤷‍♂️

People with mental health struggles suffer them at any given time, not just when facing consequences. Every time he's to be held to accound for anything his mental health is an issue, but when moving half-way around the world on a massive salary for a cushy NY job, its fine?

more proof that he's a weak, corrupt, sniveling parasite

I would have more empathy for porkbarilaro except the cause of his anguish seems to be investigating his systematic corruption. nswpol LNPCorruptionParty BarilaroGate barilaro

Oh dear, how convenient!

I hope he feels better soon and he can come back then

Its always the excuse when he is about to face the music, all of a sudden Barilaro fallen ill. Unbelievable.

Not sure why they didn't suggest they could do the interview online. But maybe the issue is he has to work out his answers with his lawyers today.

justus interruptus ,not that it matters he was shooting blanks in any case , and his sweet talk was a bit suckolish

ill moral health

Time to criminally charge him
