Macquarie in $8bn data centre play; Star staff lash out at exec pay

Good afternoon,

Macquarie Group’s asset management unit has upped its exposure to the burgeoning data centre sector in the United States through an investment and funding deal worth up to $US5bn.

Meanwhile, angry Star Entertainment staff have lashed out at the salaries and bonuses being paid to executives of the troubled casino group, including chief executive Steve McCann.

And Nine Entertainment will squeeze its TV and streaming operations into one unit, relegating the once-powerful broadcast arm of the media giant and ending the role of Stan CEO.
