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.
