    STAR CITY CASINO PATRON TAN GIA QUACH
Page: 5290


    Mr OAKESHOTT: My question is directed to the Minister for Gaming and Racing. Since 1996 has recently arrested alleged drug dealer Tan Gia Quach, who has been listed as the fourth-highest roller in the 1996 Endeavour Room top 1000, ever been excluded from your high rollers room at the Sydney casino?

    Mr FACE: Firstly, I do not have a high rollers room; it belongs to the casino. That is where the honourable member got the document he is waving around these days. I have told him and I will tell him again, he should go down and give his evidence. I will repeat what I said to him before. He is dealing with Mr Wells. It is a very dangerous situation. He is making himself a party to what is going on. He has already blown a tax investigation. He should get himself down there. Mr Wells did not tell him that he is going to be the recipient of a percentage of money in an action he is in cahoots with the casino about. I am concerned that I have had three phone calls today saying that Wells is obsessed with me. The honourable member is perpetuating the problem.
