Drummoyne MP John Sidoti called the planning coordinator of his local council to discuss a proposal that had the potential to affect his financial interests but said he was âcalling as a residentâ and not the local member, a corruption inquiry has heard.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption is investigating whether Mr Sidoti improperly influenced or attempted to improperly influence councillors or staff members at the City of Canada Bay Council between November 2013 and September 2017 to exercise their functions to benefit his familyâs property interests. He has vehemently denied wrongdoing.
