Council corruption probe findings released
SOME interviewees spoken to as part of an independent review into Kingston Council’s processes made allegations in relation to corruption and misconduct at council.
A summary of a probity review ordered by Kingston Council last year has been released. The review was conducted in response to the corruption allegations aired during IBAC’s Operation Sandon hearings which toppled Casey Council.
Holding Redlich was tasked with the investigation, going on to interview both current and former Kingston councillors and officers. The legal firm says it focused on potential connections with individuals named in Operation Sandon, such as John Woodman, Megan Schutz, former Liberal MP Lorraine Wreford, and Labor lobbyist Phil Staindl.
