Report says NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s office breached rules when documents were shredded
A report from the state’s record keeping authority has found the NSW Premier’s office broke the law when documents were shredded amid accusations of pork barrelling.
Key points:
- It’s the second report into the document shredding in 2019, but the first to find wrongdoing
- No legal action will be pursued despite the watchdog finding breaches of the law
- The Premier’s office has said the rules for document classification and disposal were unclear
The State Archives and Records Authority is the second agency to assess the shredding of documents by the Premier’s office in the lead up to the 2019 election.
Staffers in Gladys Berejiklian’s office destroyed documents relating to the allocation of funding to mostly Coalition-held seats in NSW.
