Nearby the Canberra Yacht Club buzzed with sailors preparing for a festival as others waited for a Captain Cook Memorial Water Jet demonstration.

Former Mafia Boss Warns on Legal Casinos in NSW
Vincent Teresa, a former United States Mafia chief, warned that legalising gambling in New South Wales would unleash a Pandora’s Box of crime including organ trafficking, prostitution, violence and drugs. He told Channel 9 in California that regulated casinos would attract organised crime and that associations would exploit new systems for illicit gain. Sydney solicitor Jim McCrudden, chair of the Citizens Committee on Gambling and Drops, said Teresa would likely address the NSW government on this issue.
