The final report by commissioner Ray Finkelstein recommended Crown Melbourne should be given a two-year grace period under the control of a "special manager" to correct an "alarming catalogue of wrongdoing".
The royal commission found evidence of links to criminal gangs and repeated breaches of money laundering laws and the casino's contract with the state.
That contract will not be ripped up despite Crown breaching the law — including hiding spurious state tax deductions from the regulator and dudding Victoria out of a potential $200 million in tax.
Well Crown runs Melbourne so this is no surprise. Still a disgrace from Andrews and Labor. Why does every political party in Australia have to be dogshit run by psychos
:capitalist-laugh:
this sort of shit is obviously unsurprising in any neoliberal country, but doubly unsurprising in a country with such a really cool system that is set up to rely on gambling addicts to fund its hospitals
