Director of Australia's Crown says she felt pressured to sign discredited advert


SYDNEY: A director of Australian casino giant Crown Resorts Ltd felt pressured last year by its then-chairman to sign a now-discredited full-page newspaper advertisement attacking negative media coverage, she told a regulatory inquiry on Thursday.

Jane Halton, a former top bureaucrat who sits on several company boards and chairs global vaccine advocate Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, said she agreed to her signature appearing in the ad based on internal advice, but that she has since become aware the ad contained false information.
