A former Queensland mayor has slammed the state's corruption watchdog saying it is "out of control", while a call has been made for the organisation's chair to resign or be removed.
After 25 years as a councillor, former Moreton Bay mayor Allan Sutherland was stood down after being charged with two counts of misconduct in public office by the state's corruption watchdog in December 2019.
He was accused of manipulating the timing and scope of a project affecting land he bought in Burpengary, and lobbying for change in planning scheme amendments for personal gain.
