NSW Labor MPs Noreen Hay and Lylea McMahon will be called to give evidence at the committal hearing of a developer accused of offering a bribe to a Wollongong City Council employee.Developer Lou Tasich, 51, is charged with corruptly offering a $30,000 benefit to the council's property manager, Peter Coyte, in May 2007. He is also charged with three counts of giving false or misleading evidence to an Independent Commission Against Corruption Inquiry (ICAC) in 2007, relating to his claims that Mr Coyte sought a bribe from him.Those claims were dismissed by the ICAC and Mr Coyte was cleared of any wrongdoing.In Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court yesterday, Magistrate William Pierce granted a defence application to call Member for Wollongong Ms Hay and Shellharbour MP Ms McMahon to give evidence at Tasich's committal hearing in February.The hearing will occur during the height of campaigning for the NSW state election.Mr Pierce also ordered that former Wollongong Labor councillor Frank Gigliotti be available for cross-examination at the hearing.While the prosecution and defence representatives agreed Mr Coyte should give evidence, prosecutor Tony Ingegneri opposed nine other witnesses - including Ms Hay and Ms McMahon - being called prior to a potential District Court trial.Tasich's legal representative, Phil Adams, yesterday withdrew his request for former council chief executive Rod Oxley and general manager David Farmer to give evidence.Meantime, Mr Pierce ruled it was not necessary to call other witnesses - Ms Hay's employee Kiley Martin, former Shellharbour ALP councillor Michele Greig, Wollongong City Council employee Wayne Douglass and a former council manager Stephen Payne.Court documents allege Tasich corruptly offered Mr Coyte a bribe on May 2, 2007, when he allegedly handed him a note that read "30K 4 u".At the time, Tasich was negotiating to buy the council's Thomas St car station for $3.5 million to build a new car park, apartments and shops.Tasich is also accused of giving false evidence to the ICAC on three occasions in September 2007 when he claimed to have told Mr Gigliotti and Ms Hay that Mr Coyte had sought a bribe from him, and about meetings with Mr Coyte.The court heard yesterday that Ms Hay and Ms McMahon had made conflicting statements about Tasich coming to them in June or July 2007 with complaints about Mr Coyte allegedly seeking a bribe.But Tasich told the ICAC he went to the MPs with complaints in March 2007 - two months before the meeting where it is alleged Tasich offered a bribe to Mr Coyte.Mr Pierce said it was crucial to the case if Tasich approached the MPs and when. The case was adjourned for mention in January, ahead of a two-day committal hearing starting on February 3.
