ACT Supreme Court hears there is no obvious explanation why Mark Wallis spent over $300,000 of government money on items including cars, a jet ski, and a gym membership.
The ACT Supreme Court has heard there was no obvious explanation for why a former CSIRO executive spent more than $300,000 of government money on cars, a jet ski and a gym membership.
Wallis joined the CSIRO in 2011, and left about 2017, when his final salary as a senior manager was approximately $250,000 with allowances and a bonus. When a formal notice of misconduct was sent to him, he rang a CSIRO officer leaving a long phone message denying any wrongdoing.He said he was also disappointed by the approach taken by the CSIRO.
Wallis used government funds to make more than $300,000 worth of personal purchases, including a jet ski.
