STRICT guidelines for determining when private proposals to the NSW government can bypass a competitive tender process were watered down shortly before James Packer put forward his plan for a $1 billion hotel and casino at Barangaroo.
seems to not have changed since colonial days when the wealthy made deals with government..
The change was made on August 17, a week after the Premier, Barry O'Farrell, met Mr Packer to discuss his proposal.funny stuff if it wasn't so pathetic
