Just one month after the shock resignation of Huon Valley Council's mayor, two more councillors have quit, putting allegations of toxic work culture within Tasmania's local government sector back under the spotlight.
"I will not accept the serious conflict of interest that has allowed the appointment of the current person as general manager," Ms Campbell said.Huon Valley mayor Bec Enders quit last month. "I was told to 'accept the decision of the panel'. I was bullied by another councillor when I continued pursuing the issue. This bullying has caused me a large amount of mental distress," she said.Mr Gibson said it was untenable for him to remain on council when community concerns were being ignored and called on the state government to intervene.
"This conflicted appointment and the associated bad press is damaging public faith in council," he said.
