John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Denis Muller from the Centre for Advancing Journalism and Senior Fellow & Subject Coordinator for Journalism (Law & Ethics) at The University of Melbourne, about the ethical considerations following the appointment of a new interim CEO at Cairns Regional Council.

The appointed interim CEO worked as a volunteer on the current Mayor's campaign and many are suggesting that the appointment is a conflict of interest.

The CRC threatened to silence the local newspaper, The Cairns Post, from publishing a story about the new appointment.
