The City of South Perth council votes to sack chief executive Liz Ledger after she resigns, with some reports describing the decision as retrospective and “hours after” she leaves. The council’s actions follow an external misconduct inquiry, which one summary says underpins the resolution to summarily dismiss her.
Multiple outlets report the same core sequence: an external misconduct inquiry is completed, the council moves to dismiss Ledger, and the dismissal is resolved despite her having already quit the role. One outlet specifically describes the sacking as backdated, while others frame it as a quick council action shortly after her resignation.
A separate report adds broader context about the immediate aftermath of her exit. It says the council will soon decide how to move forward after her resignation, occurring days after an appointed monitor finishes a term. Taken together, the coverage centres on the council’s response to the inquiry and the practical timing mismatch between the dismissal decision and Ledger’s resignation.
