Aussie senator uses casino project as political leverage

Want to have a balance of power in Parliament? Then allow the construction of a casino boutique on the Great Keppel Island in Australia.

Australian Senator Pauline Hanson has dangled her party’s support for a balance of power in the Senate in exchange for a license that will see the development of a casino in the central Queensland.

ABC News reported that Sen. Hanson has demanded that one of casino licenses issued by the Queensland Government be transferred to Great Keppel Island.

It would be recalled that Queensland has already given its approval to a new casino in Cairns while it already prepared another casino license for the Gold Coast.
