it taken all these years for the greater community to realize pokiw machines are an evil fukin thing. Unbelievable.
Do we really need 7 pokie machine venues in a 10km radius open till late hours in out city suburbs (yes, working class suburbs). Common, it doesn't take a genius to work out who the victims are.

Please, everyone who thinks there should be mandatory pre-commitment on pokies, sign the petition over at change.org.
Show the government that it's the people that matter, not the lobby groups!

Where does it end? Why does the minority get to change how we live our lives. For those with self control soon with no beer, wine, internet or freedom of expression......

Should the state get to decide how people get to live there lives? How about the damage caused by drunks on our roads and in the streets? Should our precious mead be taken away because some people cannot control their lives? How about the damage of being under paid and having to put your kids into child care so both parents have to work? How about censorship of the internet - "getup" are your just another control - taking away our freedom? The undecided......

@Ozipeter Are you living in the real world? Do you think the consequences of these gambling addicts never reach their families, communities etc? Think a little harder.

I seriously have to question why some people support keeping the Pokies industry the way it currently is. Wait until they lose their house, their marriage, their mental heath and we'll see how much they support the industry then. Sometimes people should just care a bit more about their fellow man other than thinking only by themselves
Great video.

@Ozipeter Absolutely people have free will, however we as a community have a responsibility to work together to provide support and atleast have discussion about those issues which cause harm to individuals and those who are vulnerable.
Problem gambling has a range of resulting consequences, which often dont just affect the gambler themselves. Entire families and communities are affected. That IS EVERYONES business. It's a significant problem.
