Can someone please tell me why the state is on the hook for redress from the Stardust? Obviously an awful disaster but why are the tax payer footing the bill? I agree with them on this. They were shamefully denied justice for over 40 years. It was a f**king disgrace. Pay up and let them move on. De...
