Queensland stalls on casino plan amid cabinet split

Queensland's Country-Liberal Government stalls on a casino referendum after months of cabinet clashes and party disputes. Proposals for resort hotels and entertainment complexes target Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast sites with talks of billions in investment and potential harbour works. The plan remains blocked pending a state wide vote and unclear public backing.

Queensland referendum on casino vote remains in limbo

Limbo persists after Bjelke-Petersen signals need for overwhelming majority while Chalk notes no such requirement. Cabinet ruling lacks date and guidelines, Queensland law has no provision for state referendums, leaving the casino issue unsettled pending legislation or council action. Pro casino groups have no target or maneuvers in sight.
