City of Melbourne Councillor Cathy Oke became emotional while speaking about her and former colleague Tessa Sullivan’s claims against Mr Doyle at a highly-charged council meeting on Tuesday night.

“Whilst noting my deep frustration that without a conclusion I continue to feel disempowered to speak, nor have the ability to speak up for a colleague who was very brave … I do remain very supportive of the investigation,” an emotional Dr Oke said at Melbourne’s Town Hall.

The former mayor is facing another independent probe following allegations by a third woman that he touched her leg and made inappropriate comments at a 2016 Melbourne Health awards ceremony.
