The Supreme Court has ruled that Whittlesea mayor Aidan McLindon’s suspension was unlawful, declaring the investigation into his conduct fatally flawed and stripping the minister’s recommendation of any legal footing. McLindon, who denied all accusations—including divisive social media posts and attempts to intimidate staff—now sees the verdict as a victory for democracy and is considering legal action against the state government. He’s also eyeing a run in the upcoming Victorian election as an independent, criticizing major parties as mere political flavors. The City of Whittlesea says it remains focused on community services, while the Victorian government has stayed silent.
