The coronavirus may have put a pause on the NSW casino inquiry, but luckily in Queensland, you don’t even need a global pandemic to keep the books closed. Laws designed to promote openness will suffice.
One big project in Brisbane alongside the brown snake is The Star Entertainment Group’s $3.6 billion Queen's Wharf development. Orwellianly named an “integrated resort”, you’ll be granted automatic entry to heaven if you can spot the word “casino” in any of the advertising for a venue that can hold up to 2500 pokie machines.
