John Barilaro - The Man Who Took Down The Government
Even for the unrelenting gravy train of corruption that is Australian conservative politics, John Barilaro has set a new gold standard. Creating a $500k a year job whilst a politician, then promptly quitting and having his ex-staff member appoint him to the role. COOL AND NORMAL. His ex boss had even appointed someone else to the role already, who has since been paid compensation. In a country thoroughly sick of the corruption and nest feathering of the Liberal and National parties, it will take down the New South Wales state government in the coming election. Cheers!
