LNP Chandler councillor Ryan Murphy has been criticised for spending more than $3000 of ratepayers’ money on a new drone.
During question time on Tuesday, opposition leader Peter Cumming asked lord mayor Adrian Schrinner whether it is appropriate for councillor Murphy to spend ratepayers’ money on equipment that would be used for his own self-promotion.
Councillor Murphy says the drone will be used by community groups to promote their events in the future, and referred to Labor councillors as “hypocrites” who have used ratepayer funds to buy cameras, computers and phones.
