Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate says any apology he could make over two misconduct findings by the council watchdog would be insincere as he launches an appeal.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate has rejected two findings of misconduct by the council watchdog and said any apology from him would be insincere.
The tribunal ordered Mr Tate to make a public admission to the misconduct on his official Facebook page by today and pay almost $3,500 in penalties. Mr Tate said he also questioned the order for him to apologise on Facebook, which he was required to do by today."It's hard for me to apologise when I don't agree with it, so how can you be sincere about it."Mr Dickson had given notice to the mayor's then chief of staff Wayne Moran in November 2015, that he intended to take disciplinary action against him.
