The rest of the world is in disbelief at what the gambling industry has pulled off in Australia. We need real reform
Why aren’t the victims of the gambling industry demanding reforms?
1. They can’t admit they have a problem.
2. They have drunk the gambling industry Koolaid and believe they have a chance to win.
3. They are not at the stage where they accept they need help.
4. They are addicted and addicts don’t think logically or objectively.

NSW moves to raise taxes on casino poker machines amid push for gambling reform.
What a crock of shite. #Domicron wants to tie the health of the state economy even more closely to the fortunes of #Casinos. He is prepared to take a few hundred million in exchange for the billions in criminal activity, money laundering and family misery.
#GamblingIsForLosers
#Domicron and NSW #LNP are set to be massive losers in March.

I’ve never gambled and so maybe I’m missing something. How can the gambling industry get away with illegal and unethical activity that costs the community vastly more than the blood money they hold governments to ransom with? How can they be allowed to destroy families, corrupt the young and facilitate crime? #GamblingIsForLosers
