10 years in the making and production on Local Government Docuseries begin

For many, you may have recalled I first put my hand up for local government in 2016. If you recall I have always been open, honest and transparent, my goal was to make change.
But in fact, I started long before 2016 where it was quite apparent that there were ongoing, significant corruption, mismanagement and poor governance occuring across the state.
So one of the biggest investigations commenced.
What is going on?
From organised crime, factional (not just political), intimidation and out right standovers, misuse of positions, stolen rate money and failed governance. The investigation has been of great success and we've been able to nail a number of problems on Local Government.
Over the past decade a paper trail exists to Electoral Commission, Local Government Inspectorate, Ministers, MPs, Councils and integrity bodies. These emails have been categorised.
I've been reaching out to many past and current Councillors, staff and residents.
The biggest barrier is pin pointing HOW it is being done and with 57 councillors (majority women) having resigned just this year. I'm confident that this docuseries will provide the evidence on HOW.
What is occuring will blow your mind and what makes it even worse is that everyone knows it is occuring there are multiple VAGO reports, investigations, findings and yet regardless of political denomination, it is allowed to continue.
If you'd like to feature in the docuseries as I will be speaking with everyday people who are service users of councils as it is quite often the general public that is the greatest impacted by these issues, reach out.
While many things are alarming, there is confidence in that there are many good, decent councillors and people in the industry.
For the meantime some alarming stat's that can be seen is that only 22 Victorian councils submitted their financial statements on time. Victorian councils oversee a significant portion of funds totally $2.3 Billion in revenue annually.
