Ian interviews Paul Pisasale about corruption charges.
IN 2017 Paul Pisasale faces criminal charges including extortion, assault, and attempting to pervert justice. In 2016, Mr Pisasale was re-elected Mayor of Ipswich with 83.45 per cent of the vote. Something is broken at councils in south-east Queensland. On 10 October 2017 Pisasale was charged with Official Corruption , Fraud – Dishonest application of property, Misconduct in Public Office, Perjury contrary , Possession of a restricted drug contrary (probably Viagra).
“The CCC will allege the corruption charge relates to payments made by a property developer.“ Maha Sinnathamby from Springfield Land Corporation?
By 2017, it could no longer be ignored. The Crime and Corruption Commission, CCC, called an inquiry to investigate the councils of Moreton Bay Region, Ipswich, Logan, and the Gold Coast. Here is a short interview broadcast on 4ZZZ prior to these charges being laid.
Thanks to Blair Martin from 4ZZZ for playing Paul.
