Labor was not satisfied that if Star did collapse that it would ever get its money back and the casino refused to stop paying its executives bonuses. Star Entertainment had also propositioned the previous Labor government for financial support which similarly did not materialise. Prior to Queensland's state election in October Labor had awarded Star a casino license which the new LNP government has since contested. A number of landers have warned Star Entertainment could be in voluntary administration within months. Mr McCann also lobbied the New South Wales government for financial relief in 2024 but Premier Chris Minns was quick to rule out that option. 'Our focus is on the men and women who work there, not on casino joints,' he said. Mr Crisafulli did not speculate on what would happen to the casino but offered his reassurance for anyone whose jobs have been left hanging in the balance.
