COUNCIL IN TURMIOL AND VERY HOT WATER APPARENTLY

GO TO SOURCE HERE
"THE City of Perth council has terminated the contract of its chief executive Gary Stevenson effective immediately.... The decision was taken at a behind-closed-doors meeting of the council on Wednesday morning.... Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi fronted a media pack on the front lawn of Council House on Wednesday, stressing that the decision to sack Mr Stevenson was “unanimously endorsed” by all nine councillors, which includes her.... It’s believed Mr Stevenson was less than three and a half years through a five-year contract.... Ms Scaffidi said the decision was “completely mutually exclusive” to the controversy hitting the City of Perth in the past 12 months over the Corruption and Crime Commission’s investigations into the Lord Mayor."

However, there is much more going on here and the WA Dept. of Local Govt. is deeply involved in investigating breaches of the Act. In fact it seems that the scope of investigation is expanding.

Interestingly PERTH NOW and THE SUNDAY TIMES seem to publish full transcripts of interviews and the one published here makes for interesting reading for those people interested in 'accountability' and Local Govt... Click here to read more and the transcript

It is interesting to see how thing pan out elsewhere to add to the layers of options to think about closer to home.
