GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN
* "I will not tolerate, never have and never will, any improper conduct by any MP."
* "At all times I've maintained a distinction between my personal and private life and the public office I hold ... at all times, if there's any example where I feel the integrity of the office someone holds is not to the standards expected of the public, of course I'll take action."
* "I don't set the rules on which business interests MPs are allowed to do. They are based on what is in the pecuniary interest register."
* "Regrettably, Mr (Daryl) Maguire approached a number of people in government, a number of public servants, he was rigorous in his attempts and his attempts amounted to nothing."
* "I trusted someone who didn't deserve to have my trust, and I'm deeply regretful of that. I really hate that happened."
* "I think everybody would argue, whether or not they choose to support me or believe me, that I was full and frank in my evidence yesterday."
WHAT OTHERS SAID:
* "We are all human, particularly in those areas of our lives, and Gladys is an extremely private person and a person of momentous integrity." - Prime Minister Scott Morrison
* "I think people right across NSW can see very, very clearly just how hard Gladys Berejiklian has worked through the bushfires, through dealing with COVID, and she's got pretty exceptional outcomes for NSW and for the whole country in the management of COVID and we should be all very grateful to her." - Federal Trade Minister Simon Birmingham
* "She is not the first person to suffer from a poor romantic choice." - NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean
* "Gladys is going nowhere." - NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance
* "She's not the first woman to not pay too much attention to the business plans of her boyfriend". - Former PM Malcolm Turnbull.
* "She turned a blind eye to corruption in her government by failing to report her knowledge of Darryl Maguire's business dealings for six-and-a-half years." - NSW Opposition Leader Jodi McKay, while moving a motion of no confidence in parliament
