Former Logan mayor Luke Smith pleads guilty to Crime and Corruption Commission charges
ABCFormer Logan mayor Luke Smith has admitted to a number of Crime and Corruption Commission charges, including misconduct in public office, five years after he was arrested by the state's corruption watchdog. Smith was also facing one count of official corruption, but instead pleaded guilty to the alternative charge of receiving a secret commission by an agent. The court heard this charge related to Smith corruptly receiving a boat in Woolgoolga in New South Wales from a party trying to influence his position in council between July 2016 and September 2016. Between August 2016 and September 2017, Smith had deliberately not disclosed to the council chief executive officer of a matter of interest within the required reporting period of 30 days, which constitutes the third charge.
