SkyCity Adelaide

In reply to the Hon. C. BONAROS (26 May 2021).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Attorney-General has advised:

As advised in the response to the honourable member's questions on 25 May 2021, the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner commenced a review of the operations of SkyCity Adelaide shortly after the release of the report by the Hon. Patricia Bergin SC into the suitability of Crown Resorts to hold a restricted gaming licence in NSW.

An objective of the commissioner's review is to ensure adequate controls are in place to protect against the same or similar failings, as considered by the Hon. Patricia Bergin SC, occurring in relation to the management and operations conducted under the South Australian Casino licence.

AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre) has commenced a formal enforcement investigation into SkyCity Adelaide.

After discussing the investigation with AUSTRAC, the commissioner has decided to put his review on hold. The commissioner will continue to collaborate regularly with AUSTRAC during the course of its investigation.

It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the investigation.
