Crown Resort’s controlling shareholder, James Packer, has conceded at the its AGM that the casino group’s offshore expansion was a failure. However, he said he is optimistic about the prospects of its Sydney casino, hotel and apartment complex, which Lendlease is building on Sydney Harbour. Packer also observed that Crown had made around $A2 billion from its international foray, which was possibly the best result of all Australian companies that have abandoned offshore expansion plans.
