Crown started as a high rollers' casino and should not become an RSL
After the federal government streamlined visas for Chinese citizens to gamble in Australian casinos, NSW governments were happy to allow casino group Crown Resorts to prey on high rollers from the Mainland so long as they stayed away from the locals. The Herald cautiously supported an invitation-only casino with no poker machines and no access for the general public on the eve of the original Packer-Crown casino being approved in 2013. We considered the high rollers option the best chance to capitalise on gambling tourism without changing the vibe of the city or exploiting Sydneysiders. But the Chinese vanished and in a breach of faith, Crown has gambled irresponsibly on going after our most vulnerable players. In an exclusive story, the Herald's Harriet Alexander this week revealed Crown Resorts executives are lobbying Minns government MPs, the opposition and crossbenchers to support a company proposal to install 500 cashless poker machines at Barangaroo. This time Crown is preying on other NSW gambling venues, hoping to remove 500 cash poker machines and installing a similar number of cashless poker machines under the specious claim of proving the new technology works. There may be an argument that relocating in a highly regulated casino could be a better outcome. But the issue facing NSW is to reduce poker machine numbers, not move them around between venues. Loading Crown's sleight of hand on poker machines treats the people of NSW with contempt and ignores the important principle at stake: the casino was licensed on a promise of no poker machines. Now, behind closed doors Crown has chosen to break that promise. Premier Chris Minns on Friday ruled out changing legislation to permit Crown Resorts to offer poker machines at Barangaroo. Importantly, he did not say how Labor would vote should a crossbencher introduce such a bill. But the revelations emerged the same day as a damning audit of gambling regulations in NSW by the auditor-general found that it would take 55 years for NSW to reduce its poker machine numbers to the national average at the current rate, and that the government had no targets to reduce gambling harm. NSW had 87,749 poker machines operating across 2000 venues in 2023-24, and they generated a profit of $8.4 billion, which the auditor-general took as the best measure of loss to patrons. They accounted for half the machines operating in Australia.

Investors are piling back into the momentum trade, hoping for records
Investors are increasingly shrugging off the months-long sharemarket volatility sparked by the Trump administration's aggressive trade policies and have become hopeful that, with the worst of the tariff shocks over, Australian stocks will keep breaking records over the next six months. While the S&P/ASX 200 pulled back from its all-time high on Friday amid news of Israeli missile and drone strikes on Iran, the benchmark index has still jumped 19 per cent since its April low. That puts it on the cusp of a technical bull market, or a 20 per cent climb from its recent trough.

Labor wants power rebates kept as price increase looms
The state opposition has urged the Crisafulli government to reverse its position and retain electricity price rebates, saying their removal will make the cost-of-living crisis worse for struggling Queenslanders. Treasurer David Janetzki has confirmed the Miles government's $1000 electricity rebates will be scrapped in his first budget later this month. The scrapping of the rebate was last month cited as the primary reason Brisbane's 1.9 per cent first-quarter CPI increase far exceeded other capital cities. Labor Opposition Leader Steven Miles, who introduced the rebate last May when he was premier, said the LNP had promised lower power prices before the election – a promise that was set to be broken. '[Now-Premier David Crisafulli] promised Queenslanders that energy prices would be lower and he promised that energy rebates would continue for so long as they are experiencing cost-of-living pressures,' he said. 'On October 3, he said 'so my commitment to Queenslanders is that energy will be cheaper under the LNP'. They're his words.' Miles was referring to Crisafulli's promise during the election campaign that 'energy will be cheaper under the LNP because we have a plan to drive down the ongoing costs'. 'Queenslanders see the difference between a political party promising everything before an election after 10 years and not doing very much, and a united and fresh opposition that is promising long-term relief by fixing the underlying issues that are forcing up power prices,' Crisafulli said at the time.
