## Resource

The ICAC is exposing a shocking corruption scandal at Parramatta Council, centered on a clique of women dubbed the “Pink Ladies” who allegedly stacked staff roles with friends, manipulated hiring, and orchestrated mass firings—all while hiding from elected officials. Former CEO Gail Connolly, along with executives Roxanne Thornton and Angela Jones-Blayney, are accused of abusing power, forging documents, and creating a secretive “Pink Ops” network that turned workplace politics into personal power plays. The fallout includes leaked messages, rigged interviews, and even a councillor targeted with invasive surveillance. This isn’t just about job placements—it’s about how blurred lines between friendship and authority can erode public trust, demanding urgent reforms to prevent future abuse.
