Title: LNP government bails out star casino!
Post by Daves2017 on Jan 22nd, 2025 at 10:03pm
Any other business that had ties with organise crime and money laundering as well as numerous licensing breeches would be closed.

But not Star Casino, there fines are waived and now they don’t even have to pay tax!

Queensland LNP is set to prop up the criminal Star casino entertainment group for the “ good of its workers “.

There must be suitcases full of $100 notes arriving at LNP HQ daily!

Why don't you make a poll relevant to your thread title.

Like do you support the LNP govt bailing out Star? Yes or No.

The rest of your choices are superfluous.

Not forgetting that the ALP was the first to moot bailing Star out.

Happily done for you !
I did leave option 3 as it’s popular and makes the important point.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for they are all tar with the same brush.

"While one state slams the door shut on helping cash-strapped casino business Star, another Premier is walking a noncommittal tightrope."

noncommittal eh? So nothing committed. ;)

“ But he did leave the door open for tax relief negotiations, while suggesting another operator’s name may well replace Star.”
“ news. Com

I know so many business that have never been engaged with organise crime nor been found unfit to hold a alcohol or gambling license that are struggling.

Now can someone explain why the idiot who has taken over from the last idiot running Qld thinks with all the problems facing Queenslanders his number 1 priority should be running star casino business?

His now right up there with Albo propping up the NRL with tax payers money.

Anyway Qld premier “ Davo” has experience in a one term government from his Newman government failure.

Counting the days too kick the Lnp out of Queensland AGAIN.

It's all about jobs -

too many people would have lost their jobs.

So your suggestion is that the state government run by Davo Crisafulli should give a corrupt business tax free place to operate in?

Like seriously? I voted Lnp so the government of the day would bail out big business rather than let the market do what it does?

If running Star Casino business is so important to’Davo’ Crisafulli maybe he should apply for the CEO job rather than wasting taxpayer money and time on running there business for them?

So if you were the Govt you'd kick 10,000 workers out on the street with no job
when they have their wives, families, mortgages etc to pay for?
Their lives would be destroyed through no fault of their own.
You wouldn't be popular for that either.

Also - a Casino is a magnet for tourism so the Govt would lose $billions on that too.

Sometimes a Govt has to be pragmatic and the solution can hurt too.
They could start by putting the corrupt bosses who were at the casino in jail.
How many have been locked up?
My bet is none.  :-[

Well - Star is like Gaza - we make you an offer you don' refuse...... either your honesty and integrity are on this paper - or you brains are.... you play by the rules or you get it in the neck.... and we will be watching.

Stuff up and Star will be nationalised ... The National Casino..... don't be concerned about losing your money here!  It will all go into consolidated revenue and feed your politicians and their PS flunkeys and all their pet wet dreams - yer Abos will lay a claim on it and get royalties.... she'll be right!!!  It's all good!!

Good deal or what?

Yeah I love how you think.

If “Davo” buys it out put his name on it up in stars!

Question is…how many other business will he find millions for to prop up?

Can’t just pay out one can you?

Especially given there crime connections?
