BONAROS (15:17):</by>  A further supplementary: can the Treasurer also confirm whether he or anyone else knows whether the review that had been instigated by the regulator was looking into issues of money laundering and illegal activities at the Casino?</text>

          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:17):</by>  I don't know; that is an issue ultimately for the commissioner. The commissioner has indicated that he has had discussions with AUSTRAC. I don't know whether they occurred prior to the announcements in the last two or three days or whether they occurred subsequent to those. I will leave those issues for the commissioner in relation to what he was looking at and how he progressed them.</text>
        <text id="202106092e39d93f20fa412d80000215">I think there has been a statement from the commissioner indicating that their normal regulatory functions continue. They have daily and weekly responsibilities in terms of managing the operations of the Casino, and they continue—as you would expect them to. I can only repeat the advice I received from the commissioner, via the Attorney-General's office I think it was, that the appropriate agency to monitor or investigate issues in relation to money laundering and that other issue that AUSTRAC monitors is AUSTRAC. He is awaiting the results of their investigations.</text>
