(then Premier) in a recorded telephone call, the relevant Minister had said to him "I haven't seen it. I don't know, it's up to Treasury", to which Mr Maguire had replied "you better fucking make sure Wagga's got money otherwise there's gonna be a riot on your hands" ([11.528]). The applicant responded to Mr Maguire that she would "deal with it" and "fix it" ([11.529]).

MAGUIRE: – but it's meant to be 170.
BEREJIKLIAN: Whatever it is 170 I said (UNINTELLIGIBLE) I think it's around 140, I said just put it in. He's putting it in whatever it is, okay.
11.531. Mr Maguire continued to complain to Ms Berejiklian, who responded, "Okay can you please not get yourself worked up again because all you do is shout at me sometimes Hokis." Mr Maguire continued to complain and Ms Berejiklian responded (amongst overtalking), "you don't need to give me that rubbish we're giving … Wagga more money than … than ever before".
11.532. Undaunted, Mr Maguire complained about funding for Tumut Hospital, leading to the following conversation:
MAGUIRE: Anyway, you need to find at least five hundred thousand or a million dollars to keep Tumut planning going.
BEREJIKLIAN: Ehm.
MAGUIRE: Just to have a line item. And – and, you know, five hundred thousand –
BEREJIKLIAN: Can you text Brad–can you stress and text Brad cause I've–I've got you now got you the one seventy 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.
MAGUIRE: Yeah – yeah I'll –
BEREJIKLIAN: You can have me fight –
MAGUIRE: – go see Lee and she'll fix it.
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.
MAGUIRE: Hokis –
BEREJIKLIAN: Okay it's done.
