Brisbane City Council in uproar: Police called to eject LNP councillor Nicole Johnston


POLICE have been called to the Brisbane City Council chambers to eject Cr Nicole Johnston after she refused to leave after being suspended.

Cr Johnston, who has been suspended several times since leaving the LNP in May last year, was suspended by Chair Cr Krista Adams after allegedly interjecting numerous times.

Cr Adams called a 20 minute adjournment and asked Cr Johnston to leave but she refused.

Cr Adams then asked for the police to be called.

'I won't take this any more," Cr Johnston said through tears.

Council was then adjourned for 90 minutes to allow for the police to be called and staff to take a dinner break.
