Description
Tension Rises in City of Perth as Proposed Workplace Culture Review Deemed UnlawfulThe City of Perths newly elected lord mayor, Bruce Reynolds, is pushing for a one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollar workplace culture review, but his own administration deems it unlawful. This has led to significant tension within the council, resulting in the resignation of the acting chief executive officer, Peta Mabbs. Mabbs published a report stating the review would be a poor use of taxpayer funds and violate regulations. She noted no workplace culture issues were raised during a performance review and ten complaints were received about elected officials behavior. The proposed review was approved at a council meeting, but three opposing councilors did not attend. The local government minister has expressed concern and indicated a willingness to intervene. The situation remains fluid, highlighting challenges within the City of Perths leadership and raising questions about the transparency and legality of council decisions.
