Former Parramatta Council CEO Gail Connolly stunned investigators by admitting she sent a secret email exposing alleged corruption — including falsified timesheets and a senior staff member’s misconduct — after fearing the issue would be ignored. Now under ICAC scrutiny, Connolly is also accused of manipulating hiring for personal gain alongside two other women dubbed the “Pink Ladies,” and of firing staff she deemed disloyal. Her testimony also revealed the abrupt exit of chief people officer Bernadette Cavanagh, framed as a resignation but occurring just eight weeks after Connolly took charge. Connolly remains the final witness in this four-week inquiry — and she’s back on the stand next Thursday.
