Crown Resorts to pay $61 million to Victorian government in underpaid taxes

-

 Crown casinos says it will pay the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor regulation $61 million.

In a statement to the ASX, Crown says it underpaid taxes in the 2012 financial year.

That underpayment was about $37 million, but because of penalty interest, the figure increased by $24 million.

The Royal Commission into the Casino Operator and Licence has been hearing evidence all year, including evidence about tax underpayments, and will deliver its findings in October.

The number of homes being put up for auction across Australia has continued to plummet, quashing hopes of spring injecting momentum into the struggling market.

Both markets were down by more than 500 on the same weekend as last week with owners of luxury homes tending to sell privately before auction.

The 19-year-old was the toast of the 2019 Swimming Australia Awards in Sydney on Sunday night, cleaning up by also claiming Short Course Swimmer of the Year and sharing the Patron Award. Tasmanian-born, Brisbane-based Titmus already had plenty to celebrate in a breakout 2019 after famously dethroning American great Katie Ledecky to claim 400m freestyle gold at this year's world titles in South Korea in July. It marked the first time Ledecky – a 14-time world champion – had been beaten over 400m, 800m or 1500m freestyle at a major international meet since 2012.

 Wildlife rescuer Tracey Wilson lets out a familiar refrain whenever she receives a call about a lost or injured koala: "Here we go again".  It is not from a lack of love for the iconic marsupial — Ms Wilson spends countless hours helping injured koalas recuperate from all sorts of injuries and mishaps. She was one of the first people on hand when 21 koalas were found dead and 49 so horribly injured they had to be euthanased after a south-west Victorian timber plantation was cleared in 2020. Many of the koalas that survived that incident recovered at Ms Wilson's wildlife sanctuary in Koroit. Her frustration, she said, stemmed from the fact that the number of calls to help injured koalas was increasing.
