Episode Details

Stirling mayor Mark Irwin is back in the hot seat after being ordered to apologize again — this time for shutting down a resident’s questions and acting disrespectfully at a March 2025 council meeting. The Local Government Standards Panel found he violated conduct rules by improperly using his office and deliberately undermining the resident, Roland Hadley, who was trying to raise motions of no confidence over transparency and project management. Irwin admitted fault and apologized directly to Hadley, but the panel emphasized his behavior was impolite, impatient, and aimed at silencing Hadley — even though Hadley’s prop might have been a minor annoyance. This isn’t his first rodeo: he faced a similar rebuke just months earlier in June 2024.
