Wyndham City Mayor Preet Singh resigned after writing a character reference for a convicted child sex offender, Kashyap Patel. The offender was sentenced to nine months in prison and a two-year community correction order. Singhs resignation came amidst calls from ten other councillors for his full resignation and protests outside council chambers. The incident also led to the withdrawal of Liberal candidate Dinesh Gourisetty from the upcoming election, following the revelation of his own reference for Patel.
