About bloody time. I dream of a day when the majority of pubs are not pokie dens.

I want to see all political advertising and donations banned outright with all parties getting an allocated budget from the AEC.
A step in the right direction but still weaksauce compared to WA banning them outright. They ruin not just the lives of gamblers and their families but also pub culture in general.
$100 at a time. You can still put in $1000s in one session
EDIT: Actually I thought about it and at least you can only lose $100 at a time. It’s still a mess
I used a poker machine once. Put in $5//10 came out on top by $5/10. Never touched one again. Drive them all into the desert and drop a bomb on them, IMO.
I did a similar thing on my first visit to Vegas. I put a quarter into a slot machine because I was a tourist. I won $25 and cashed out straight away.
The casino still got that money back though, I spent it on the New York New York rollercoaster.
