Former Parramatta City councillor and council boss Jeanette Connolly testifies before the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), according to multiple outlets. All three reports describe her as presenting a controlled, composed demeanour as she arrives to give evidence. The coverage notes that Connolly looks “steely rather than brittle” and that her appearance includes a visible legal team on either side as she enters. The outlets also describe her legal representatives as standing out due to their clothing, particularly referencing “flashes of pink.”

Beyond these descriptions of her demeanour and arrival, the shared reporting does not provide additional details about specific allegations, questions, or evidence presented during the hearing in the provided excerpts. The accounts are consistent in characterising the moment of her appearance before the commission, but they do not diverge on substantive facts within the limited material supplied. The reports therefore focus primarily on her initial presentation as proceedings begin.
