BURSWOOD RESORT CASINO, TAX CONCESSIONS
Is the Government giving consideration to responding favourably to the Burswood Resort Casino’s requests in relation to tax rate concessions and removal of the 10 per cent shareholding cap, as a trade-off for Burswood playing a positive role in the proposed $30 million tennis complex? Hon N.D. GRIFFITHS

We are dealing with an issue that may affect the share price of a publicly listed company. In that context the only appropriate comment I can make at this stage is that discussions between Burswood and the Government on a number of matters are continuing, and I trust they will be resolved in the interests of the State.
