Invercargill’s licensing trust chief says no job offer was ever on the table for a teenager who lodged a sexual harassment complaint against a councillor. The head of Invercargill’s licensing trust appears at odds with the city’s mayor over how a complaint of alleged sexual harassment was handled. As an alternative, the complainant was also told of an “employment option” with the Invercargill Licensing Trust. In subsequent emails sent to the family of the complainant, Clark characterised the position at the Invercargill Licensing Trust as a “job option” and a “potential new job”. The mayor had contacted him to inform him that media reporting may include emails about the licensing trust.
