The announcement by the Tasmanian Government that it’s ditching the cashless pre-commitment card for poker machines is all you need to know about the character of this mob. They don’t give a toss about gambling addiction or the harm it causes the community. They’re in the back pocket of the gambling industry. Moreover they couldn’t care less about the fact that the NSW Crime Commission has found money laundering is commonplace through poker machines and that the only way to rein it in is with cashless play. Frankly the Tasmanian Government is the most incompetent, cold-hearted and self-serving administration in Australia. |
