April 21, 2021 David Pahlke and Kerry Silver speak out after charges against sacked Logan councillors dropped
The withdrawal of criminal charges on 14 April 2021 by the Director of Public Prosecutions against Logan City councillors could have implications for former and current Ipswich councillors who were also dismissed by the state government.

In this episode two former councillors tell of their on-going frustrations and anger at being dismissed in August 2018.
