Lasseters casino refutes "racist" ban of Bess Price, by Greg Tingle - 8th January 2010
Australia's multi cultural values and sensitivities have once again come under the spotlight following an incident at Lasseters Casino in the Northern Territory on New Years Day.
Patron Bess Price was refused entry to the premise and claims racism and mistreatment.
The incident comes off the back of yet another week of what is being reported as racist related killing of an Indian student in Melbourne, Victoria.
For the uninitiated, unfortunately Australia has a terrible history of what is known as "black deaths in custody" (Indigenous Australian dying, sometimes bashed to death, while in Australian police custody).
Rupert Murdoch's media company, News Limited, including his Darwin based Northern Territory News in Australia's "top end", has been doing an excellent job of providing fair and balanced coverage of Indigenous Australia. What some readers may not know is that it was a young Murdoch who helped cement his media business reputation in 1959 as editor of The News by covering the trial of Max Stuart (Ngoombujarra), a young aboriginal man who was sentenced to death after being found guilty of the murder of a nice year old girl on what was considered extremely questionable evidence. An Australian film entitled Black and White covers that story.
It seems that every time there is a serious incident on Australian soil everyone (press included so I'm "guilty" too) is looking to see if there are "racist" elements to it. Mind you, when a new story breaks a good journalist will always look deeper in order to help find the real story and to add meat and substance. It is not unusual for there often to be more to a story that what is first though and reported, so I think it is the duty of the press to see if there are potential racist elements to breaking news.
On a side note, Lasseters closed down their online casino operation via Income Access circa 2008, however the incident may potentially see more punters having a hit at various other online casinos rather that risk altercations at bricks and mortar establishments.
Australia's most recent race related incidents are going to keep the Australian government busy, and the rumor mill says that at least one film producer is looking to do a 'Casino Jack' style production and between the Labor Party, Crown Casino, Star City Casino and Lasseters they have some bloody good fodder to work with.
This morning I personally called The Northern Territory Times and spoke to journalist "Matt" and he basically said that patron Bess Price is naming the casino as racist and that the casino is calling her drunk. We have also called Lasseters Casino and spoke with Lasseters Group Chief Operating Officer, Brad Morgan. Mr Morgan advised us of no further comment at this time. Should further details emerge Media Man will pass them on to the readership.
In the meantime Australia's undisputed casino king, James Packer, continues to do his modest bit to assist in positive Australian community and multi cultural relations. James and Erica Packer are supporters of UNICEF. Mrs Packer recently bought James a water pump at Christmas for an impoverished community, reports Fairfax Media. The gift is being referred to as the "gift that gives". Mr Packer has also collaborated with Australian mining Magnate, Andrew Forrest in recent years by a special project helping find sustainable employment opportunities for Indigenous Australians. In other Australian multi cultural related matters allegations continue to fly back and forward between Sea Shepherd and Japanese whalers. Australian racing, gaming and advertising gurus, John Singleton and son, Jack Singleton, are long time supporters of Sea Shepherd and just one of their well known brands and stunts is known as "Whale Safe Beer". The Singleton's, Alan Jones and other notable Australian racing identities are currently looking at ways to bring Australian racing and gaming to the internet in an improved fashion. The news comes as the industry awaits updates on the Australian Productivity Report into the gaming industry. Unlike Vegas' "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", what happened down under in Australia, doesn't stay "down under". Cheers me maties from a multi cultural Bondi Beach.

Casino denies 'racist' ban of indigenous leader, by Paul Toohey - Northern Territory News - 7th January 2010
ONE of the country's strongest emerging indigenous leaders, Bess Price, spent the early hours of New Year's Day in protective police custody in Alice Springs after being barred from entering Lasseters Casino.
Ms Price, who is chairperson of the Northern Territory's Indigenous Affairs Advisory Council, said she was denied entry because of racist security staff.
Lasseters management later strongly backed the decision of a female security officer to deny Ms Price entry on the grounds of intoxication and said they would fight any claims of racism or mistreatment.
"I put it down to racism," Ms Price said.
"I wasn't being abusive to anybody at all that night."
She was removed from the casino in a police vehicle at about 2.30am.
Ms Price said she was not put in the cells but held in the general watchhouse area for "a few hours", then released without charge.
Ms Price had announced her candidacy to run for the Country Liberals in the seat of Lingiari against Labor's Warren Snowdon in the federal election.
It has been reported in recent days that she no longer planned to stand but Ms Price said her change of mind had nothing to do with New Year's Eve.
"The security person pulled me up and she was disrespectful towards me," Ms Price said.
"I had my cousin next to me. The last drink I'd had was hours back and I was on water. I was on water. I lined up with my cousin to go in and this security person called me over and said, 'You abused one of our staff last week, didn't you?'
"I said it was definitely not me. I ... told the security they had the wrong person. I turned to go towards the door and they decided I was intoxicated and they asked me to leave.
"I became upset. I asked the security, 'What's your name, where's your ID?'
"They came, manhandled me, and removed me, sat me on the grass, and I sat there fuming.
"The police came and removed me further out on the footpath and I was so angry, pacing up and down, swearing in Warlpiri and the police said if I didn't calm down they'd take me away. They lifted me and threw me. I still got fingernail marks, my arms are still sore.
"I was taken to the police station and treated like a blackfella."
Ms Price said she was seeking legal action and wanted an apology from the casino but Lasseters Group chief operating officer, Brad Morgan, said none would be made.
"She was refused entry because of intoxication and she became abusive," Mr Morgan said.
"Under licensing laws we can't allow anyone on the premises that's intoxicated and that's it."
Mr Morgan said a security officer made an assessment that Ms Price was intoxicated at about 2.30am.
He said Ms Price's husband, Dave Price, had approached the casino afterwards, claiming his wife was mistreated on racial grounds.
"I've had a conversation with her husband, he has made that claim," Mr Morgan said. "I refute that claim. Our staff take cultural awareness training, and a large percentage of our clientele are indigenous."

The Singleton's, Alan Jones and other notable Australian racing identities are currently looking at ways to bring Australian racing and gaming to the internet in an improved fashion. The news comes as the industry awaits updates on the Australian Productivity Report into the gaming industry. Unlike Vegas' "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", what happened down under in Australia, doesn't stay "down under". Cheers me maties from a multi cultural Bondi Beach.

Casino denies 'racist' ban of indigenous leader, by Paul Toohey - Northern Territory News - 7th January 2010
ONE of the country's strongest emerging indigenous leaders, Bess Price, spent the early hours of New Year's Day in protective police custody in Alice Springs after being barred from entering Lasseters Casino.
Ms Price, who is chairperson of the Northern Territory's Indigenous Affairs Advisory Council, said she was denied entry because of racist security staff.
Lasseters management later strongly backed the decision of a female security officer to deny Ms Price entry on the grounds of intoxication and said they would fight any claims of racism or mistreatment.
"I put it down to racism," Ms Price said.
"I wasn't being abusive to anybody at all that night."
She was removed from the casino in a police vehicle at about 2.30am.
Ms Price said she was not put in the cells but held in the general watchhouse area for "a few hours", then released without charge.
Ms Price had announced her candidacy to run for the Country Liberals in the seat of Lingiari against Labor's Warren Snowdon in the federal election.
It has been reported in recent days that she no longer planned to stand but Ms Price said her change of mind had nothing to do with New Year's Eve.
"The security person pulled me up and she was disrespectful towards me," Ms Price said.
"I had my cousin next to me. The last drink I'd had was hours back and I was on water. I was on water. I lined up with my cousin to go in and this security person called me over and said, 'You abused one of our staff last week, didn't you?'
"I said it was definitely not me. I ... told the security they had the wrong person. I turned to go towards the door and they decided I was intoxicated and they asked me to leave.
"I became upset. I asked the security, 'What's your name, where's your ID?'
"They came, manhandled me, and removed me, sat me on the grass, and I sat there fuming.
"The police came and removed me further out on the footpath and I was so angry, pacing up and down, swearing in Warlpiri and the police said if I didn't calm down they'd take me away. They lifted me and threw me. I still got fingernail marks, my arms are still sore.
"I was taken to the police station and treated like a blackfella."
Ms Price said she was seeking legal action and wanted an apology from the casino but Lasseters Group chief operating officer, Brad Morgan, said none would be made.
"She was refused entry because of intoxication and she became abusive," Mr Morgan said.
"Under licensing laws we can't allow anyone on the premises that's intoxicated and that's it."
Mr Morgan said a security officer made an assessment that Ms Price was intoxicated at about 2.30am.
He said Ms Price's husband, Dave Price, had approached the casino afterwards, claiming his wife was mistreated on racial grounds.
"I've had a conversation with her husband, he has made that claim," Mr Morgan said. "I refute that claim. Our staff take cultural awareness training, and a large percentage of our clientele are indigenous."
