Labor MP Kyle McGinn has used parliamentary privilege to criticise the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder over the allegedly 'toxic' workplace culture under former chief executive John Walker.

countless staff, councillors, and community members had raised "pretty disturbing concerns" about the city over the past two years."We will certainly not forgive nor forget unless we see some drastic changes done immediately at the city," Mr McGinn"In an ideal world, the people who have lived this experience would have been able to stand and tell their truth.

"If the council thinks it's a good idea to pin everything on one person, then that's a cop-out," Mr Walker told ABC Goldfields from Lismore."If anyone wants to take me on, if they want to take on any commentary that might defame me or cause me some damage, then they will hear from my solicitors."Mayor's support 'untenable': McGinn"I don't know how tone deaf one man needs to be," Mr McGinn told parliament.

He described Mayor John Bowler's ongoing public support for Mr Walker as a "weird hill to die on", saying he had "overseen this disaster". "I am a union man and I can tell you that $2 million in unpaid wages is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace."In a statement to the ABC, Mr Bowler said councillors, senior staff, and all workers at the city wanted to move forward.Mr Bowler was adamant that staff concerns were never raised directly with him.
