At the time, Optus issued a statement saying: "Optus acknowledges the ICAC report published in relation to Gladys Berejiklian’s time serving as a member of the NSW Parliament. We refer you to Gladys’ media statement and have no further comment to make."

On Tuesday, iTWire asked Optus whether Berejiklian would continue to work with the company or not.

An Optus spokesperson responded: "We have nothing further to add to our original statement."

Optus appointed Berejiklian to the post of managing director, Enterprise, Business and Institutional on 11 February last year, a few months after she had resigned as premier of NSW.

In making the announcement, Optus chief executive Kelly Bayer Rosmarin said: "To deliver on our vision we need to think and do things differently and we need to attract amazing people who bring diverse experiences and new ways of thinking to our industry.

"So, I am thrilled to announce that Gladys Berejiklian will join our talented and experienced executive team to help transform our approach to business customers.”

Singtel, which owns Optus, says in its policy brief about anti-bribery and corruption: "Singtel adopts a zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption of any form as set out in the Singtel Code of Conduct..."

That does not appear to leave much wiggle room for Berejiklian to stay on as an Optus staffer.
