THE disqualification of former Newcastle councillor Allan 'Robbo' Robinson from holding public office for two years sends a clear signal to all, says deputy mayor Declan Clausen who has welcomed the outcome.

The NSW Civil Administrative Tribunal has found eight complaints proven against the former jockey and Footy Show star relating to his behaviour as a member of the City of Newcastle council between June 2019 and February 2020.
