An Australian mayor is being investigated for alleged misconduct by his state’s council watchdog after he raised concerns about the COVID-19 rollout plan for his town in a Barcaldine Regional Council meeting in February.

Barcaldine Mayor Sean Dillon had made comments about the Central West Hospital and Health Service (CWHHS) during a council meeting, saying he didn’t think everyone in his jurisdiction could be vaccinated within the allocated timeframe of one day.
