It's April 21st. This is Sydney News Today, powered by AI. A Kimsey Shire counselor and New South Wales is facing an investigation after a nasty comment popped up on his private Facebook page. Noelle Selby says his account got hacked, but the post said it was a pity a woman hadn't been bashed. This came and replied to her. Claiming a guy was violent with partners, a council is now digging into it under their code of conduct. Mayor Ken Ring brought it up at Tuesday's meeting, noting Selby told the CEO it wasn't him posting. She may clear the council doesn't watch personal social media and slams any violence, especially against women. They push for respectful talk online to avoid harming folks. Folks are reacting strong. Cheryl Moody from Australian Femicide Watch shared the comment and said it blew her away, showing how deep massage in his views still run and talks about. Violence against women. The review goes to an independent expert to dodge conflicts and it might drag on. Council director Daniel Thurogud pointed out a past case against a former mayor to two
years and ended in a public slap on the wrist, then, kicked to state officials. Council rules ban counselors from anything that drags their name or the bodies wrapped through the mud, like threats or offensive posts that mess with. Fair duties will keep an eye as this plays out, reminding everyone elected reps got to walk the talk online.
