Corruption watchdog in firing line as Logan council fraud charges thrown out
Wednesday April 14, 2021

The councillors, including former mayor Luke Smith, were dumped from their roles after the Crime and Corruption Commission charged them with fraud over the dismissal of former council CEO Sharon Kelsey.
