Star Entertainment Group has avoided a "second strike" on its executive pay report that could have forced its entire board to stand for re-election, as its new leader described working long hours to effect a turnaround.
An early vote tally showed that just 17.2 per cent of votes were being cast against the renumeration report, meaning it would gain the 75 per cent super majority required to avoid a board spill, chairman David Foster told the casino group's annual general meeting on Thursday.
