Dr Glenn Mitchell runs the History program in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Wollongong.

As a resident of the area and historical research, he has an extensive knowledge about the workings of Wollongong City Council and provided an insight into some of the history of corruption in the Council.

"2008 was really the tip of a very large iceberg, an iceberg that had been growing for some time," he said. "The difference between 2008 and 2007 or 2006 is that finally someone has accumulated some evidence.

Dr Mitchell's published works and research have focused on migration policy in the Illawarra and the environmental aspects of Port Kembla steelworks. In this interview he spoke about his belief that democracy has been lost in the Illawarra for some time.
