          <by role="member" id="5418">The Hon. C. BONAROS:</by>  In early June, it was revealed that AUSTRAC, Australia's financial crimes watchdog, was investigating the Casino after it identified potential serious compliance with the Australian Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. AUSTRAC's concerns were identified as part of a compliance assessment it commenced almost two years ago focusing on the Casino's management of customers identified as high risk and politically exposed persons (PEPs).</text>
        <text id="202109225c28df6ea3df40b680000215">We know the commissioner for business and consumer services has suspended his own review of the commission pending the completion of AUSTRAC's investigations, and the Treasurer has addressed that in this chamber previously. My questions to the Treasurer are:</text>
        <text id="202109225c28df6ea3df40b680000216">1.&amp;#x9;Has AUSTRAC yet been briefed by the state government on its ongoing investigation into SkyCity Adelaide Casino?</text>
        <text id="202109225c28df6ea3df40b680000217">2.&amp;#x9;Has the government sought a meeting to be briefed by AUSTRAC on its investigation into the Casino?</text>
        <text id="202109225c28df6ea3df40b680000218">3.&amp;#x9;If so, what was the extent of the information given?</text>
        <text id="202109225c28df6ea3df40b680000219">4.&amp;#x9;If not, why has that not occurred, especially given the potential serious threat posed by AUSTRAC's concerns over the Casino's management of customers identified as PEPs?</text>
