A government agency ostensibly missed important details about a questionable casino partner. Who should investigate? The same agency, naturally.
When Queen’s Wharf Brisbane company Chow Tai Fook was alleged last year to have rather dubious associations, the then-attorney-general Shannon Fentiman, responsible for casino oversight, hit all the right-sounding notes.
Rather than missing the big details, the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation just didn’t think they were particularly problematic. But these old tycoons died in 2016 and 2020, respectively, and were essentially vegetables before that, according to the documents. The OLGR couldn’t even interview Cheng in its 2014-15 probity investigation because he was in a “comatose state”. Ho, it determined, was sufficiently distanced from the next generation of CTF leadership and in his twilight anyway.
“While the investigation must be conducted by a departmental officer, it is recommended that the investigation include an independent review of the sufficiency of the original investigation,” the OLGR recommended to Fentiman, who marked it approved.
