The Brisbane City Council’s Ethics Committee under pressure after its three Labor members resigned yesterday.
They resigned in protest of what they alleged is a political tool, used against independent and non-administrative councillors.
Brisbane Greens councillor Jonathan Sri spoke out last year after being reprimanded by the ethics committee for comments made to his Facebook Page on police conduct.
Councillor Sri welcomes the resignation of the Labor members from the ethics committee.
“It’s better to leave these things up to voters and just let the voters decide at election time, whether they are happy how a councillor has behaved unless of course it is actual corruption in which case it just needs to be referred to the Crime and Corruption Commission,” said Sri.
