The Waratah-Wynyard Council is calling on the Tasmanian government to intervene and sack convicted councillor Darren Fairbrother, who was sentenced this year for flashing a crown prosecutor and her son, because they are powerless to do so.
The ABC has reached out to Mr Fairbrother for comment but he has not responded.
Before either motion was debated, Mr Fairbrother faced a lengthy stream of questions and statements from members of the local community."Can all of those people who support registered sex offenders being leaders in the community please raise your hand … anyone?" Mr Hutchison said. "The people who voted for Councillor Fairbrother did not vote for such a display of morally repugnant behaviour," Ms Corbett said.
The office of Local Government Minister Nic Street did not respond to questions in time for publication, but another government minister, Roger Jaensch, was asked about the situation at a press conference in Burnie.
