Sydney council at centre of corruption probe rejects transparency plan In the shadow of Operation Rosny, a corruption probe into the Hills Shire Council, one might expect transparency measures to be enthusiastically adopted by the very council at its center.
Instead, a motion calling for increased openness in dealings with lobbyists and property developers was soundly defeated last Tuesday.
This decision not only raises questions about the council's commitment to accountability but also highlights a glaring gap in legislation governing local councils.
