Central Coast Council Watch

Sacked CEO Gary Murphy speaks out

February 18, 2021 by Merilyn Vale

See the Coast News edition of February 19, 2021, for an exclusive story from sacked CEO Gary Murphy.

Mr Murphy explains the timeline to the financial crisis that exploded in October last year.

He says he blew the whistle as soon as the spending of restricted funds was uncovered.

He joins the calls for an inquiry and lists 21 questions that need answering.

He questions how years of audits and reviews failed to find the problem.

He believes he has been denied natural justice and gives his behind the scenes account of what happened both in the lead up to the Cash Crisis that became public after the October Long Weekend of 2020 and immediately afterwards.
