Former New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has been granted approval for a taxpayer-funded legal team worth at least $10,000 a day for her Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) battle.
The former premier has hired five lawyers, all being paid with taxpayer grants that are capped at $4,880 per day for each silk.
The ICAC’s public hearing starts at 10am on Tuesday. The corruption watchdog is expected to hear from former NSW Premier Mike Baird and Trade and Industry Minister Stuart Ayres this week.
Gladys Berejiklian opted for the comfort of her family home on Saturday ahead of her pressure cooker appearance before a ICAC public enquiry into her former relationship with dodgy Daryl Maguire.
Bret Walker SC has acted for bikies, politicians and sport stars in headline-grabbing legal battles which come with high stakes consequences befitting his estimated $25,000-a-day fees.
