The Star Entertainment Group Executive Chair Concedes Company Not Ready to Regain NSW Casino Licence
The Star Entertainment Group’s executive chair, David Foster, has admitted that the company is not prepared to regain its New South Wales casino license following intense questioning at an inquiry into its culture. The inquiry has uncovered allegations of misconduct and unethical behavior within the organization, leading to the departure of multiple executives, including former boss Robbie Cooke. Foster has defended his text messages about “getting rid” of special manager Nick Weeks and launching a class action against him and the state regulator, claiming they were taken out of context and made in a high-stress environment.
