Squeaky clean?

Council's Code of Conduct mentions that all councillors and employees are expected to act "so as to enhance public confidence in Local Government."

I therefore am at a loss to understand why Gosford Council should appoint two former councillors to their Conduct Committee.

If it wished to be viewed as "squeaky clean" it would surely find candidates completely outside of council, who can view all matters brought before them objectively.

Why is it that Gosford Council continues to treat its ratepayers with such contempt?
