@CollectiveShout provided evidence re #CrownCasino, money laundering, trafficking & the sex industry in a submission to the Senate Legal & Constitutional Affairs Committee
Inquiry into anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019

@CollectiveShout Our submission appears here: d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/collectiveshou….

@CollectiveShout Oddly, though what we documented already existed on the public record - primarily drawn from investigatory reports published in @theage @smh & @60Minutes by Nick McKenzie @Ageinvestigates, Grace Tobin & @NickToscano1, a significant swathe was re-dacted.

@CollectiveShout @theage @smh @60Minutes @Ageinvestigates @NickToscano1 The first 3 lines in Appendix 1: Criminal activity, including human trafficking, within legal prostitution, point 4, page 5 were included. "Crown Resorts and a legal Melbourne brothel have been implicated in sex trafficking and money laundering.

@CollectiveShout @theage @smh @60Minutes @Ageinvestigates @NickToscano1 "Asian sex workers have been flown into Australia on private jets organised by Crown Resorts 'junket' operators. Crown Resorts paid a brothel owner and alleged money launderer to lure high rollers to its Australian casinos and then provided them with money to gamble".

@CollectiveShout @theage @smh @60Minutes @Ageinvestigates @NickToscano1 The next17 lines are redacted. They look like this:

@CollectiveShout @theage @smh @60Minutes @Ageinvestigates @NickToscano1 Yet the expunged information was all publicly accessibly online. See for example @theage @Ageinvestigates

I didn't understand why back then and I still don't.
