'Robbo' In Hot Water Over Misconduct While Serving As A Newcastle Councillor

 BY IAN CROUCH

Former Newcastle Councillor, Allan Robinson could have costs and penalties awarded against him after being found guilty of misconduct and harassment.

The NSW Civil Administrative Tribunal has found eight complaints against the jockey and former Footy Show star relating to his time on council.

He's been found guilty of bringing council into disrepute for making homophobic and derogatory remarks about fellow councillors, disregarding attempts to bring to order and refusing to withdraw disparaging remarks.

The issue of costs and penalties will be the subject of a hearing on June 1.
