Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate's three-day trip to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort has drawn scrutiny because a key invoice related to the stay is missing from council records. Council officers say the mayor took the paper invoice out of the office and no copy was retained. This invoice was important for nullifying conflict of interest concerns regarding a proposed $1.5 billion Trump Tower on Gold Coast beaches.
