Accused of manipulating council decisions to hide her impending firing, Connolly claims she sensed her fate after the 2024 local elections, even comparing the tense atmosphere to The Castle. Meanwhile, her legal team’s coordinated navy-and-pink courtroom fashion has turned heads, adding drama to the ICAC probe, which also investigates possible misuse of public funds, dodgy recruitment, and leaks. Cross-examinations loom as the commission digs deeper into what’s been called Operation Navarra. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
