Business Outstanding – INCLUDING CONDUCT Matters AND
MATTERS Lying on the Table to be Dealt With
13.1
Suspected Inappropriate Conduct of a Councillor
Statement from the Mayor of Ipswich City Council:
“I will now introduce Item 13 of the agenda.
I will make an introductory statement, then invite the subject councillor to make a statement. I will then ask the subject councillor to leave the room while the Council discuss, debate and decide on the matter.
I note that all Councillors have been provided with the confidential investigation report and the accompanying annexes including an interview transcript and a letter from the subject councillor’s lawyer in advance of this meeting for your consideration.
This report pertains to a referral from the Office of the Independent Assessor related to the suspected inappropriate conduct of Councillor Tully.
This is the first of any such matters to be determined by this Council under the updated Local Government Act 2009 .
For the benefit of everyone, I would like to take a moment to briefly describe the processes in relation to this matter.
Firstly, I would like to note that legislation identifies the following categories of Councillor conduct complaints:
· Level 1: Unsuitable meeting conduct
· Level 2: Inappropriate conduct: which includes when a councillor contravenes a behavioural standard or policy (such as the Code of Conduct for Councillors in Queensland)
· Level 3: Misconduct
· Level 4: Corrupt Conduct.
As mentioned, this matter relates to allegations of inappropriate conduct, which is a level 2 category.
The Office of the Independent Assessor wrote to the CEO of Ipswich City Council on 19 May 2020 with allegations that Councillor Tully breached the Local Government Act 2009 as a result of his post on his Paul Tully Facebook Page on 17 April 2020 which is suspected of breaching the behavioural standards of the Code of Conduct for Councillors in Queensland namely Behavioural standard 2 – Treat people in a reasonable, just, respectful and non-discriminatory way and Value 3 in representing and meaningfully engaging with the community Councillor will show respect to all persons.
The Independent Assessor wrote to Councillor Tully on 28 April 2020, advising that she reasonably suspected the complaint involved inappropriate conduct and considered that the complaint should be referred to the Council to be dealt with, pursuant to the Local Government Act 2009 .
She also provided Councillor Tully with an opportunity to respond to the complaint and to address why she should not decide to refer the complaint to Council to deal with.
Councillor Tully did not provide a response to that correspondence.
The Independent Assessor said that h aving considered all the information involved, she reasonably suspected that the complaint, if proven, involves inappropriate conduct and will refer the conduct to Council to be dealt with.
It is alleged on 17 April 2020, Paul Tully did post on the Paul Tully Facebook page, a meme titled ‘Funny Friday’ which contained the wording,
I asked my trainer which machine at the gym I should use to impress beautiful women. He pointed outside and said “The ATM machine”.
Particular (a)
The post on the Paul Tully Facebook page:
i. showed a lack of respect for women; and
ii. reinforced negative gender stereotypes.
Particular (b)
The conduct of posting the meme was not consistent with meaningful engagement with the community.
As per the Council’s Investigation Policy, as Mayor I was required to manage the investigation of the alleged inappropriate conduct.
An independent investigation was subsequently undertaken by WISE Workplace Investigation Services.
The report concluded:
That the allegation and particulars (a) and (b) are substantiated.
And that the social media post could amount to a breach of the Code of Conduct for Councillors by Councillor Tully.
In accordance with council’s investigations policy, section 8, Councillor Tully is entitled to natural justice or procedural fairness and I would therefore like to invite Councillor Tully to address the Council”.
Statement from Councillor Paul Tully:
“It was never my intention to cause any offence in this matter. I am sincerely sorry for what has occurred. I have already apologised on the day of publication online, on Facebook. Facebook is not identified as a Council Facebook page. The post was scheduled by an assistant in about January of this year. It was automatically scheduled to be posted which went online at about 5.00 am on the relevant day. It was taken down within about 1 hour.” Councillor Paul Tully provided the following comment in response to the independent investigation: “the lawyers letter which has been received by all councillors comes to an entirely different conclusion and I ask for due consideration by you on the matter.”
At 9.28 am Councillor Paul Tully left the meeting room.
