“Of course we are shocked, condolences to the family and the issue is that he is innocent before being proven guilty,” Tate told reporters.Tate said the council would liaise with the state government on the councillor’s future.“The power rests with him in terms of options for Councillor Bayldon-Lumsden.”Deputy Premier Steven Miles has sought definitive legal advice and has been contacted for comment.
Under the legislation, grounds for removing a councillor include if the officeholder is incapable of performing their responsibilities or if it is a matter of public interest. The councillor and former schoolteacher had been living with his mother at the Arundel address, according to neighbours.“This is a complete shock,” one told AAP on Thursday.
