The pictures of two former senior Lake Macquarie councillors will remain on display, in spite of their convictions for child sex offences.
According to the Fairfax, council voted down a motion to remove the portraits of former Mayor Douglas Carley and councillor Milton Orkopoulos in a confidential meeting last November.
Because the meeting was confidential, the names of the councillors who supported and opposed the motion are not public.
Survivor groups say it’s a slap in the face to all victims of abuse.
