It is the NSW government's fault that they are loss making. Arguing about liberal or labour is irrelevant. If this company closes up the current NSW government being Minns and Harris will take the blame whether it was just them or not is irrelevant all that matters is they had the power allow Star to continue to be viable in NSW and chose instead to increase their duty rates and force them to employ more people than they could afford to. They could have just scrapped the ridiculous Keane proposal and spoke to the NICC about giving them at least a provisional licence.

I'll tell you one thing for sure though according to the casino control act NSW 1992 the NICC cannot fine Star this time around even if they wanted to as they do not currently have a licence in NSW as it is suspended. The NICC can only issue fines to the 'casino operator' and if you ready section 28 of the Act the NICC appointed manager is considered the licence holder and 'casino operator' responsible for all gaming operations in Sydney. So they can fine Nick Weeks if they have an issue. All these terms are clearly legally defined in the Act.
