ICAC Operation Navarra LIVE updates: Ousted Parramatta Council CEO Gail Connolly returns to stand for second day
Gail Connolly is accused of spying on staff and a councillor and misusing council information, processes and public money. Follow live.
There’s a section in local government legislation that requires the local government minister to approve any termination payout to a senior staff member if that payout exceeds the value of their total salary.
Cavanagh, the HR boss who left with an agreed release, ended up with more money than that. Her payout was for 51 weeks (38 weeks of pay plus 13 weeks of special leave) but the payroll department kept paying a weekly payment in addition to that figure.
That meant the payout should have been approved by the minister, Davidson says.
Showed the payslips, Connolly says: “I was never aware of this.” It was a “typical local government stuff-up”, she says. “A standard bureaucratic mistake.”
Davidson asks: “Was she being paid through payroll to avoid hitting the ministerial scrutiny threshold?”
“No. She was being paid according to the deed,” Connolly says. “I have no idea what this payslip is.”
