The links between Crown and political policy makers has been too close for a long time. Does anyone seriously believe Helen Coonan was the best person for her job were it not for her political access? Same for Mark Arbib and Karl Bitar who defected from the government to Crown when the ALP were in power. Political access is across the board in the gambling sector. The head of industry lobby group Responsible Wagering Australia just happens to be ex politician Stephen Conroy. The links between the gambling sector and government plainly facilitate corruption.
