Ms Haylen told a budget estimates hearing that in her experience, Mr Ash's work was in line with his role. Mr Ash ran Labor's failed campaign to win the seat of Balmain, and he ran as the party's candidate in Pittwater in 2015. NSW Police internal emails released to parliament last month reveal senior police had concerns the decision to light the opera house in the Israeli flag would inflame tensions in the community.
At the time of the incident, questions were raised as to why the original media release from NSW Police omitted the word "taser".
