Star Entertainment Group chief executive Matt Bekier resigned following bombshell evidence of some executives deliberately flouting rules and laws to allow millions of dollars to illegally churn through the casino, and governance experts have called for some board members to follow in his footsteps.

The company told the ASX that Mr Bekier’s resignation followed “issues raised in the public hearings in connection with the review of The Star Sydney” and that he was accountable for issues with the “company’s processes, policies, people and culture”.
