Crime and Corruption Commission
Mar 9th, 2018 at 1:24pm
 
They have tom tate in their sights.

Good

' ......... Last week, the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) announced a new investigation, "into allegations of corrupt conduct relating to decision-making by some Gold Coast City Council councillors".
"The allegations broadly involve possible conflicts of interest relating to decisions on a range of development matters on the Gold Coast," the CCC said.
"The allegations, which raise a reasonable suspicion of corrupt conduct, will now be investigated by the CCC."
No councillors were named in the announcement of the probe.
The ABC can reveal the corruption watchdog is investigating eight complaints lodged by the community group Save Surfers Paradise, including the decision-making surrounding a development proposed by a company the Mayor has a 50 per cent stake in.
Do you know more about this story? Email investigations@abc.net.au
The group alleged to the CCC, "Councillor Tate did not fully disclose his material personal interest" in the "Waterglow" development during a 2013 meeting of council that considered an application for the project.
The 56-level apartment tower would be built on the site of the old Surfers Paradise bowling club greens and is being proposed by Crestden Pty Ltd.
At the 2013 meeting, Cr Tate declared a material personal interest because he was a shareholder of Crestden, and he left the chamber.
However, the complaint to the CCC said the Mayor failed to reveal his shareholding in Crestden amounted to 50 per cent, which they claim is a violation of the Local Government Act.

Anybody who saw the ABC expose on what they done for their chinese mates would wonder why they are not all in jail. Still, corruption seems to be second nature for the righties doesn't it?

Read a bit cods -they were/are all in it.

Anyone with any sense would never vote for a business person for council, since they only do so to further their own interests while being paid to do so.  What kind of fool pays someone to feather their own nest?

Vote for the hippies and the radicals - at least you know it will be fun.... and they might actually fix the roads....

Yes, no surprise at all.  His potential conflicts of interest were always obvious.  Good to see the CCM doing its job.  They got Paul Pisasale (former Mayor of Ipswich and booted out of the ALP) and I reckon they'll get this Lib. Mayor as well.

Also the Harvey Bay Mayor.

Anyone see a trend here?

I wonder if the 'Black Swan Lake' destruction instigated this.

A lot of people are dismayed about that.
