Salim Mehajer has hit out at two former fellow councillors who he labelled "dole bludgers" and accused of targeting him for his "olive complexion".
In a Facebook post titled "The Facts" the controversial former deputy mayor of Auburn Council lambasted Irene Simms and George Campbell for calling his purchase of the council car park "dodgy".
The post comes during a rough week for Mr Mehajer, who is set to lose millions of dollars following a decision to scrap two major developments related to his property business.
During his first meeting as government-appointed administrator of the now-suspended western Sydney council, Viv May on Wednesday approved a motion to rescind the controversial development applications.
One of the applications was for a car park in Lidcombe in which Mr Mehajer's property development company was planning to build a high-rise building.
The loss of the sale will reportedly cost Mr Mehajer's business more than $8.5 million.
The move also means the flamboyant politician won't be able to proceed with a planned multi-million dollar apartment block.
"When it comes to me or someone with an `olive complexion' lodging a development application, I/we are grossly targeted," he wrote on Thursday.
"Or perhaps you may all suffer from tall-poppy syndrome?"
Mr Mehajer labelled Ms Simms and Mr Campbell "dole bludgers" and said they suffered from "jealousy of success".
Local Government Minister Paul Toole welcomed the decision on Thursday, saying it would go a long way in restoring the community's confidence in the council.
"Allegations of corruption involving local councillors are extremely concerning," he said in a statement to AAP.
"The public is sick and tired of councils that don't do the right thing and so am I."
Mr Toole formally suspended Auburn Council last week as a public inquiry was launched into allegations its councillors, including Mr Mehajer, were making planning and development decisions which would benefit them.
Mr Mehajer was also temporarily banned from civic office last month for not declaring a financial interest in council decisions on which he was voting.
The latest development on Auburn Council comes two days after the government announced it was pursuing both the current and previous mayors of Sydney's Hurstville Council over possible misconduct.
Staff at the City of Botany Bay Council also came under the spotlight this week as the state's corruption watchdog announced an investigation into allegations they defrauded more than $4.2 million and misused power for personal gain.
