He revealed he received a draft conflict-of-interest report months before stepping down and insists he acted ethically, recusing himself from defense matters and fully disclosing his connections. Despite his departure, Brereton remains defiant, calling any suggestion of wrongdoing baseless and accusing the commission of wasting time defending him. His resignation follows a turbulent tenure marked by controversy, including an investigation into his conduct, and a search for a new commissioner is now underway through a merit-based process.
