Wanted: Whistleblower

Are you involved in the Toowoomba recycled effluent project?

Is the Council misleading the residents and ratepayers of Toowoomba?

Maybe you should read the Council's Code of Conduct for employees:

http://www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au/media/publications/code_of_conduct_2004.pdf

Council employees are required to act in the public interest:

"Acting in the public interest means taking a course of action which provides the greatest good for the community as a whole. This should be the basis upon which recommendations or decisions are made." (see page 11)

"Improper conduct includes maladministration or waste of public funds." (see page 10)

"The chief executive officer is obligated to report suspected or detected official misconduct to the [CMC]." (see page 10)

One of the options available for evidence of official misconduct is to contact the Crime and Misconduct Commission: http://www.cmc.qld.gov.au/

If there has been misconduct by the Council on this project, it should be brought to light.
