Following a three-month external review, the NSW government found there was no basis to proceed with misconduct proceedings against John Minns.
NSW Strata and Property Services Commissioner John Minns has been cleared of misconduct after a three-month external review.
The NSW government has cleared Strata and Property Services Commissioner John Minns of misconduct following a three-month external review.In August, an ABC Four Corners investigation revealed Mr Minns had failed to publicly disclose that his family trust held more than 550,000 shares in a major real estate and strata services company, worth about $780,000.
The Secretary for the NSW Department of Customer Service Graeme Head later admitted during budget estimates that Mr Minns had told the previous secretary Emma Hogan of his commercial interest before being appointed as commissioner in 2021.Mr Minns told the ABC he had informed the NSW government a further three times, in his annual disclosures, and did not pen his own biography.
"It seems to me as though they may not be investigating it because their own mismanagement would be exposed."Mr Minns sold the bulk of his Independent Property Group stock back to the company in 2021 and retained an option to sell the remaining shares, but currently still holds the stock."There was no requirement to tell the world about it and neither should there be," he said."For most people it looks perfectly normal.
