Vote of no confidence motion against Town of Port Hedland councillor Adrian McRae fails at special meeting
A vote of no confidence against a newly elected Town of Port Hedland councillor - who made headlines for congratulating Russian President Vladimir Putin on his election victory - has failed at a special meeting on Monday night.
Councillor Adrian McRae flew to Russia last month to participate as an election scrutineer after being invited by the Russian Ambassador to Australia Alexey Pavlovsky before appearing on Russian state-owned television.
