ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                    17 NOVEMBER 2022

     | acknowledge the finding of misconduct for not declaring a perceived conflict of interest and
     admit that | made a genuine mistake in not making those declarations at that time.
     | take full responsibility and will learn from my error of judgement. Further, in accordance
     with the tribunal findings, | undertake to do further training at my own cost in relation to the
     issue of conflicts of interest.
     | will be seeking a review of this decision via the Queensland Civil Administrative Tribunal and
     legal advice to provide guidance in future conflict of interest matters, especially in regards to
     how long | must continue to raise a deceased parent as conflict of interest.
     My pledge to councillors here tonight, is that | will continue to discuss potential Conflict Of
     Interest questions at the time they arise and will not be lodging retrospective complaints
     against them, as this has been a process ! would not wish upon anyone.
     This is a timely reminder that we need to get these issues right 100% of the time, which |
     always endeavour to do. | will learn from this and continue to focus on applying highest
     possible standards of good governance for our Council.
