## Resource

A University of Wollongong governance manager admitted to receiving unfair advantages during her hiring, including leaked interview materials and direct coaching from her close ally, Alyssa White — the university’s chief governance officer. White, who helped create the role Oon was appointed to, sat on the very interview panel that evaluated her, creating a glaring conflict of interest. Oon also confessed to using private email channels to coordinate with White, who reviewed her application, drafted interview questions, and even sent her feedback — all while other candidates were left at a disadvantage. Her emotional testimony revealed desperation fueled by extreme workloads and staffing shortages, but also admitted to helping recruit others connected to White, further eroding the integrity of multiple hiring processes. The ICAC inquiry into these practices is far from over. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
