SkyCity Adelaide

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:36): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Attorney, representing the Treasurer and the Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs and Small and Family Business, a question about SkyCity Casino.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: Just a short while ago, The Advertiser reported that SkyCity's Australian chief, David Christian, has resigned ahead of the anticipated resignation date that was first flagged. The news comes ahead of significant money laundering penalties for breaches of anti-money laundering laws and a number of other breaches of regulatory functions by SkyCity Casino. My questions to the Attorney are:

1. What, if any, briefings have been offered to the government regarding this most recent resignation?

2. Is the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner still set to recommence his review of the suitability of SkyCity to hold the state's only casino licence and, if so, when?

3. What progress has been made with respect to the payment of funds back to the state government following a Supreme Court ruling against the Casino in relation to taxation and its loyalty program?

4. If there has been any progress, what is the amount that is to be paid back to the state government in relation to taxation of its loyalty program?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:37): I thank the honourable member for her questions. I will refer those to the relevant ministers in another place and bring back a reply.
