Episode Details

Text messages reveal a shocking insider plot at Parramatta Council, where executives allegedly rigged hiring to install loyal allies — including Gail Connolly’s friend Angela Jones-Blayney, who called current staff “scum” and vowed to replace them with “fantastic” recruits. Jones-Blayney reportedly pressured Connolly to take the top job so they could bring in staff from their old workplace, Ryde. Even worse, Roxanne Thornton allegedly helped a staffer skirt qualifications by rewriting job specs, removing degree requirements, and leaking interview questions — all while claiming confidentiality. The inquiry, Operation Navarra, is now probing whether these actions were intentional efforts to bypass proper procedures and reshape the council’s leadership. Jones-Blayney’s testimony is next — and the fallout could be massive.
