The Australian Labor Party will not oppose the Victorian Government’s new deal with Crown Resorts. The deal will extend the casino’s licence to 2050 and bring the government an extra $A910 million in tax. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said that the party would not be able to rewrite the commercial arrangement. It has negotiated a four-year package for the retraining of 500 retrenched workers
