A councillor in Adelaide's eastern suburbs says an inappropriate message sent from his official Instagram account to a 17-year-old girl, which triggered an $11,500 investigation, was not intended for her.The message referenced bikini photos she had posted of herself onlineBurnside Councillor Julian Carbone has been subject of a code of conduct complaint investigation after he allegedly sent a message request to a teenager after she posted bikini photos of herself online.
The report found there was merit to the teenager's complaint and found that Mr Carbone breached the code. "I do recall seeing photos, of people at the beach during a very cold period and it was just drawing the obvious conclusion that it was a bit weird that someone was at the beach for such a cold day."
In the report, Mr Gare found Mr Carbone followed a number of accounts that would be considered inappropriate in the work environment – with those accounts including young girls in "bikinis and gym clothes."
