Jun 22, 2009 (The Sydney Morning Herald - ABIX via COMTEX) -- The struggling National Leisure & Gaming has divested two pub assets in Queensland for $A12.5m to Australian Leisure & Hospitality.

Experts also say Woolworths is keen to make such acquisitions before they are ruled out by pending competition law changes.
