Ipswich City Council will remove the name of former mayor Paul Pisasale from two pieces of local infrastructure, after a vote last week.
Pisasale was already serving a two year term for extortion when he was sentenced to a further 7 and a half years jail on 30 other charges including fraud, official corruption, perjury and two counts of sexual assault.
Six councillors voted to “de-name” the Paul Pisasale Bridge in Springfield Central and Pisasale Drive in Yamanto, a move current Mayor Teresa Harding says will erase a “source of embarrassment” for the city.
