Mob links killed off Trump's Sydney casino bid

‘Mob links’ killed off Trump’s Sydney casino bid
The Australian 12:00AM August 16, 2017

Donald Trump’s plan to build and operate Sydney’s first casino was killed off in 1987 by the NSW government on the back of a high-level police report that warned against the now-US President’s bid because of his “mafia ­connections’’.

The secret report by the NSW Police Board into the suitability of tenderers for the inner-city ­Darling Harbour casino project cautioned that it would be “dangerous’’ to go ahead with Mr Trump’s joint venture with the Queensland-based Kern Corporation, headed by the late developer Barry Paul.

But our political discourse was preoccupied with something far more important than the mob ties of one of the major party candidates.
