As per media reports covering the scandal about collusion and corruption in The Hills Shire Council, a parliamentary inquiry was raised to investigate the issue. The inquiry, initiated by a Member of Parliament under parliamentary privilege, claimed that a developer paid significant funds to the Liberal Party to replace elected council members with those favorable to his development projects.
The inquiry concluded with a recommendation to refer the influence of property developers in the Hills Shire to ICAC for further investigation. It also suggested that the council might need to be placed under administration due to the seriousness of the allegations and lack of cooperation from key witnesses.
Given these troubling revelations, it’s more important than ever to restore integrity, accountability, and transparency to our local government. This is why we are urging you to vote for Jane in the upcoming local government elections.
Jane brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in corporate compliance, governance, business law, and internal financial investigations. Her extensive professional network with the Corruption Prevention Network (CPN ICAC), and other professional bodies uniquely positions her to advocate for the highest standards of integrity within the council.
If elected, Jane will work closely with the council’s independent ARIC (Audit, Risk, and Improvement Committee) to address noncompliance with law and regulation (NOCLAR) and existing underperformance issues. She will provide critical oversight of the council’s financial operations, ensuring robust budgeting, financial planning, and effective audit and risk management.
A vote for Jane is a vote to restore public trust and rebuild the reputation of our council. Let’s work together for a transparent, accountable, and trustworthy local government.
Vote for Jane to bring about the change we need!
