Star Entertainment Group(星娱乐集团,澳洲赌场运营商)董事长 Soo Kim 已告知股东,火灾已经扑灭,重建工作已经开始,不过这家赌场运营商仍面临因历史上反洗钱违规行为可能遭受的处罚。Kim 表示,集团最大的问题是对高消费贵宾赌客的处理方式,其中许多人转而选择 Crown(皇冠度假村集团)旗下的度假村。AUSTRAC(澳大利亚交易报告与分析中心)已要求处以 4亿澳元罚款,Star 称该金额将使其陷入管理状态。联邦法院定于周三宣布处罚结果。
Star Entertainment Group chair Soo Kim has told shareholders that the fire is out and rebuilding has begun, though the casino operator still faces a possible penalty for historical anti-money laundering breaches. Kim said the group's biggest problem is its treatment of high-spending VIP gamblers, many of whom are choosing Crown resorts instead. AUSTRAC has requested a $400 million penalty, an amount Star says would push it into administration. The Federal Court is due to announce the penalty on Wednesday.
Brodie Kostecki 和 Todd Hazelwood 赢得了巴瑟斯特1000赛(Bathurst 1000),此前 Anton De Pasquale 在最后一圈领跑时耗尽燃油。距离胜利仅差不到一圈的 De Pasquale 表示,他看到车队燃油明显不足时就知道“我们完了”。临近终点旗时,Team 18(第18车队)曾催促他节省燃油。Kostecki 在最后一个弯道超越了 Zach Bates,为 Dick Johnson Racing(迪克·约翰逊赛车队)夺得冠军。Will Brown 和 Scott Pye 为 Triple Eight(三八车队)获得第二名。
