Former Parramatta City Council CEO Gail Connolly is currently testifying before the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) as part of Operation Navarra. The inquiry centers on allegations of misconduct during her tenure, including claims she interfered with recruitment processes to benefit herself. Connolly is also accused of inappropriately disclosing confidential council information and engaging in surveillance of both council employees and an elected official. The ICAC is investigating whether Connolly abused her position for personal gain. Her return to the witness box signals a deepening of the investigation into these serious allegations. The operation aims to determine if breaches of public trust occurred during Connolly’s leadership. Further details are expected as the hearings continue.
