Andrew Bogut has gone after Bayside councillor and former mayor
Clarke Martin.
The star player suffered a major knockback on Tuesday night when five members of the Bayside Council’s planning committee (including Martin) unanimously voted against giving a permit to Bogut and wife
Jessica’s planned $4.7 million forever home in the bayside suburb of Beaumaris.
Bogut took issue with the councillors, rebuffing their own planning officers, who recommended approving the development. And he certainly took issue with Martin.
