Counsel assisting an inquiry into The Star Sydney’s suitability to retain its NSW casino license has called on Star to be found unsuitable.

Delivering closing submissions following two-and-a-half months of public hearings, Naomi Sharp SC told the inquiry on Tuesday that Star had demonstrated failures across multiple levels of the business and asked inquiry-lead Adam Bell SC to follow the examples set by recent inquiries into fellow casino operator Crown Resorts in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia. All three found Crown unsuitable but provided a pathway for them to return to suitability.
