In October 2019, the mayor of Noosa, Tony Wellington, called for the councilman to resign immediately.
In a statement Mr Wellington said: ‘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.’
Mr Wellington went on to say that while he legally does not have the authority to remove a sitting councillor, Jess brought the council’s name into ‘disrepute’ and ‘undermined’ its the good reputation.
