The ones who really bark are the crooks who are behind this saga of Casino and the VVIPs who told lies to mislead the parliament and the general public.

Casinos are the bread and butter of Packer, whereas political scandals of the government are the bread and butter of the opposition MP s. But, I guess Dr. Harsha is correct at least this once.

Casinos are for the super rich elite, but even we, the lesser people with meagre earnings can't escape the cascade effect.
