Ann: NSW Inquiry - Commencement of hearings, page-28

The Star staff were checking the diary of Nick Weeks, special manager of the inquiry. Anyone involved in this should be fired. Crawford and Weeks should get rid of all the staff involved or who were complicit in this, regardless of whether they were directed to do this, otherwise the culture will not change. I hold shares, but the Star needs to be honest, open up its records and change, fix it. A lot of staff, customers and shareholders are relying on the Star being ethical. They don't have much time so they need to work closely with the inquiry. Hopefully on the otherside, there is some recognition of the efforts and positive intent of the Star when it occurs.

The Government can not afford another loss of face if the casino does not stop the money laundering, I just hope there is nobody working behind the scenes to try and get the casino licence with promises of political donations, or from somebody trying to acquire the Star. Let's hope it is a fair process.
