Conflict in focus By Emily-Rose Toohey At the 13 April Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting, conflicts of interest founds itself at the centre of a lengthy discussion. Six councillors, including SDRC Mayor Vic

Pennisi, Cr Cynthia McDonald, Cr Jo McNally, Cr Marco Gliori, Cr Stephen Tancred, and Cr Cameron Gow declared conflicts of interest. Cr Cynthia McDonald acknowledged that items 9.1 (petition against material change of use application for intensive animal industry), 12.1 (corporate and community services

monthly status report), 12.2 (Saleyards Advisory Committee), and 14.3 (Pest Management Advisory Committee Meeting minutes) were conflicts of interests for her. “I am a beef cattle farmer and have commercial dealings in this industry, and some people may interpret this as me having a con-

flict of interest,” Cr McDonald said. “I’ve had three complaints made against me in 2020, which are under investigation by the Office of the Independent Assessor and may be referred to the Councillor Conduct Tribunal at this point.” Full story page 4
