Former NSW deputy premier John Barilaro's appointment to a lucrative US trade job was a "sorry saga" with all the hallmarks of a "job for the boys", a parliamentary inquiry has found.
"The appointment of Mr Barilaro as (Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner) to the Americas has all the trademarks of a 'job for the boys' position," Greens MP and committee chair Cate Faehrmann wrote.
"This whole sorry saga has shaken the public's confidence in the integrity of public service recruitment," she said.
