Illawarra Airport??

Pardon me, but I recall a thread on Pprune some years ago about the shoddy treatment of a variety of people who ran businesses at Illawarra airport.

Certain allegations were made.

I now note that the Australian today is alleging that there is a serious corruption problem down that way.

Who would have thought?

THE NSW Labor Party has gone into damage control over sensational allegations of bribery and corruption within Wollongong City Council, suspending five party members implicated in the scandal.

Three ministers have been dragged into the widening furore, with the Government of Premier Morris Iemma reeling from claims of jobs for mates and a trail of political donations from allegedly corrupt developers.

Labor-controlled Wollongong Council was yesterday left to swing in the breeze by the state Government, with Local Government Minister Paul Lynch refusing to take calls from council general manager David Farmer.

The allegations have emerged from explosive evidence at an Independent Commission Against Corruption hearing, where it was alleged a town planner, Beth Morgan, was involved in sexual relationships with three developers - and received cash and gifts from two of them - while she was approving their property developments worth a combined $135million.

Thanks Feather, my mistake.

Maybe corruption is contagious though?
