The intimate conversations between former premier Gladys Berejiklian and her secret partner, former Wagga Wagga Liberal MP Daryl Maguire have been exposed in a scathing corruption report.
The long-awaited report detailed findings of "serious corrupt conduct" against Berejiklian and Maguire more than two years after the former premier dropped the bombshell revelation of their relationship during hearings.
"However, the evidence before the Commission is that from at least about mid-2014, Ms Berejiklian and Mr Maguire were exchanging messages which suggest that the relationship was one of considerable intensity accompanied by mutual and deep feelings of love," the report found.

The lengthy report includes the legally-obtained phone taps between Berejiklian and Maguire revealing their private conversations during their years-long relationship.
The transcripts of these phone calls offer an insight into their secret relationship and the conversations regarding multi-million-dollar projects Berejiklian is accused of awarding or promising funds to which are at the centre of the corruption scandal.
Here are some of the conversations during Maguire and Berejiklian's relationship.
The 'profound' importance of the relationship
The ICAC report called Maguire and Berejiklian's relationship of "profound" importance to the pair, with the couple discussing making their relationship public, possibly getting married and going on holidays together.
In April 2018, before Maguire was forced to resign, the pair had the following phone call.
BEREJIKLIAN: Because you know what I tell you why because normally you're the boss and it's hard when we have to switch it around that's the truth.
MAGUIRE: Yeah but I am the boss, even when you're the Premier.
BEREJIKLIAN: I know. So therefore it's hard when I had to switch it around.
MAGUIRE: Glad, even when you are the Premier I am the boss alright.
BEREJIKLIAN: Yes I know.
Another conversation in 2017 detailed Maguire's plans to "pull off deals" but also provided an insight into the couple's relationship.
MAGUIRE: I'm not going to have those problems so much when I retire which is good.
BEREJIKLIAN: Thank goodness for that thank god that means we can actually go places together is that what it means?
MAGUIRE: I won't have any money but we will be more flexible.
MAGUIRE: I won't have any money unless I can pull these deals off which I am working on.
BEREJIKLIAN: But hokis, the thing is all you need to do is we don't need money I can support myself always have always will and you just need to do whatever you need you know for yourself and your kids
The term "hokis" is an Armenian term of endearment and was also the pair's secret nickname.
Wagga Wagga Hospital
In one of the phone calls, Berejiklian told Maguire she had got him the money for Wagga Wagga Base Hospital.
Prior to this, Maguire had complained about the lack of funding for the facility.
BEREJIKLIAN: I've already got you the Wagga Hospital.
MAGUIRE: But they…
BEREJIKLIAN: I just spoke to Dom (former treasurer Dominic Perrottet) and I said put the 140 in the budget. He goes no worries. He just does what I ask … I ask him to.

Tumut Hospital
Another conversation about a regional hospital saw Maguire asking Berejiklian for more money to fund Tumut Hospital in the Wagga Wagga region.
MAGUIRE: Anyway, you need to find at least $500,000 or $1 million to keep Tumut planning going.
BEREJIKLIAN: Can you text Brad (former health minister Brad Hazzard) – can you stress and text Brad 'cause I've got you now the $170 million in five minutes. You can at least get a few hundred thousand from Brad just keep texting him. If you keep bothering him he'll fix it okay.
BEREJIKLIAN: You can't have me fixing all the problems all the time.
MAGUIRE: I tell you what if you went to the budget without Wagga on it you…
BEREJIKLIAN: Yeah I just fixed it okay.
The Riverina Conservatorium of Music
In 2017, a telephone tap revealed Berejiklian agreeing to "throw money" at Wagga Wagga and one of the multi-million-dollar projects at the centre of the ICAC investigation – the Riverina Conservatorium of Music.
BEREJIKLIAN: You don't see it you don't see it I don't want to argue with you, I just need to go and chill because you have stressed me out.
MAGUIRE: Alright I'll go and chill you just throw money at Wagga.…
BEREJIKLIAN: Alright and I'll throw money at Wagga you just have to do what's right from your end otherwise you'll kill me.
MAGUIRE: I'm batting for you. You just need to know what the right things are to throw money at Wagga and you need…
BEREJIKLIAN: I already know you've already told me the three top things I already know.
MAGUIRE: And you need and go and give them a stadium…
BEREJIKLIAN: I'll do that too.
A year later, the pair had a conversation where Maguire continued to ask for more funds.
BEREJIKLIAN: We ticked off your conservatorium the other day so that's a done deal now.
MAGUIRE: Yeah, but that's only…
MAGUIRE: That's the building and $10 million, not the rest of it. Not the next stage…
BEREJIKLIAN: Oh my God. Heaven help us seriously.

When Maguire was summonsed to ICAC in 2018
Maguire was summonsed to go before an ICAC hearing in 2018 regarding Operation Dasha.
During this investigation, it was alleged Maguire used his parliamentary position to secure property deals with developers.
One of these deals was with Chinese company Country Garden.
This transcript reveals the phone call Maguire made to Berejiklian when he was called before ICAC.
MAGUIRE: I've been subpoenaed to go to ICAC, summonsed to ICAC, so that's exciting.
BEREJIKLIAN: What for?
MAGUIRE: Because I introduced that idiot (Canterbury councillor Michael) Hawatt to um, Country Garden.
BEREJIKLIAN: Is there anything to worry about?
MAGUIRE: No … you know I've never, I've never accepted a dollar.
BEREJIKLIAN: So why, so why are you being subpoenaed?
MAGUIRE: I think Hawatt was to benefit from the skulduggery he was getting up to … with that Council.
BEREJIKLIAN: Don't, don't talk, I don't … I don't want to know any of that stuff.
A week later, Maguire was forced to resign from the Liberal Party.
After he resigned, he told Berejiklian the following: "Hokis, get stuck into me. Kick the s— out of me. Good for party morale."
