Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington has called for the resignation of Councillor Jess Glasgow, after his frankly repulsive behaviour on The Bachelorette over its first two episodes.

Jess, who made a slew of disgusting comments about Angie and The Bachelorette‘s female crew, was kicked off the show in last night’s episode. He also admitted to kissing “plenty of girls who have turned their heads before”.
In a statement shared this morning, Wellington denounced Glasgow’s behaviour.
“With his appearance on the reality TV show The Bachelorette, Councillor Jess Glasgow has revealed behaviour that is totally inappropriate for a Noosa councillor, indeed for any individual.
“The behaviour displayed was misogynistic, crude, and highly offensive.”
GO OFF, TONY.
“Whether or not Mr Glasgow was simply performing for the cameras, he showed incredibly poor judgement in allowing himself to be filmed lying, being extremely and consistently disrespectful of women, and outright offensive.”
Wellington was also not amused by Glasgow’s constant references to Noosa, which has unfortunately copped a lot of flack on the socials.
Dear Noosa, please explain. @BacheloretteAU #BacheloretteAU

After Wednesday’s premiere episode, Wellington confirmed he would refer Glasgow to the Office of the Independent Assessor “as a result of his behaviour bringing the Council and community into disrepute”.
Wellington binned Glasgow’s claims that he sought his approval before hopping on the show. Also, Glasgow has apparently fibbed to the media about “supposed accrued leave and pay entitlements.”
“Having now viewed last night’s second episode of the program, I have spoken to Cr Glasgow and told him to seriously consider resigning from his position as Councillor on the Noosa Council.
“Whilst I do not have the legal authority to remove a sitting councillor, he has arguably brought the Council into disrepute and undermined the good reputation of our Shire.
“Put simply, there is absolutely no room for vile misogyny and loutish behaviour in Noosa or in Noosa Council.”
HAPPY FRIDAY!
