A former deputy mayor of a suburban Sydney council has told an inquiry examining alleged links between Liberal councillors and property developers that he felt like a “stunned mullet” after seeing plans to build “colossal structures” in the area.
Alan Haselden told the New South Wales parliamentary inquiry on Thursday that he experienced a “wow moment” during his meeting with developer Jean Nassif, the owner of developer Toplace, sometime between 2018 and 2019.
