The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) continues its Operation Navarra public inquiry involving former Parramatta City Council CEO Gail Connolly. Multiple outlets report that Connolly is scheduled to appear again and face cross-examination, with references to the hearing continuing into a fifth and sixth day. The investigation focuses on allegations that Connolly subverted or manipulated recruitment processes in ways that benefited friends. Sources also report claims that she disclosed confidential information for her own benefit and that she spied on council staff as well as an elected official. One round of coverage notes that Connolly’s prior evidence ended in tears, and she returns to the witness stand as the inquiry proceeds. Another report states that she is questioned by representatives connected to Parramatta Council and that cross-examination includes her co-accused, Roxanne Thornton. Across the sources, the ICAC proceedings are described as ongoing, with Connolly continuing to give evidence while the commission considers the conduct attributed to her during her time at Parramatta Council.
