I suspect that Karen's lawsuit will be settled out of court very shortly.
The risks for Rex if it doesn't settle include:
- The potential for the media to pick up on the donations story.
- Political fallout for all the political parties.
- Potentially an ASIC investigation of Rex and possibly a NSW ICAC reference.
- Further publicity about the state of CASA and ATSB.
- and finally, A lawsuit by Dominic James on the basis of being denied procedural fairness and natural justice possibly by CASA, Rex and ATSB in collusion.
