$2.17b lost to pokies in NSW in the first 90 days of 2025. The Minns govt talked up their commitment to reform, but have capitulated to the clubs & pubs gambling industry, just like every government of every stripe before them. #PutPokiesInTheirPlace theguardian.com/australia-news…

Please explain Woolworths. It’s not enough that you once owned more poker machines in Australia than any other publicly listed company - you now have to start grooming kids to gamble with toy pokies as well! #PutPokiesInTheirPlace #NSWPol #AusPol

It's clear recent minor reforms are just tinkering, as poker machine losses in NSW continue to increase. When will Mr Chris Minns and Mr Mark Speakman come together to get serious to address the harm being done, which churches and charities see all the time.

NSW Audit Office report confirms what we already knew - the NSW govt is failing to seriously address the state's gambling harm public health crisis. Predatory pokies are siphoning over $24m a day out of NSW communities. It's time to #PutPokiesInTheirPlace theguardian.com/australia-news…

“A leading charity has described the system governing poker machines in New South Wales as "broken" in the wake of a damning auditor-general's report into the effectiveness of gaming machine regulations.” #PutPokiesInTheirPlace #NSWPol abc.net.au/news/2025-06-1…

“It would take 55 years for NSW to reduce its poker machines numbers to the national average at the current rate, according to a damning audit of gambling regulations that also found the govt had no targets to reduce gambling harm” #PutPokiesInTheirPlace smh.com.au/national/nsw/n…

⁦Crown Resorts⁩ Sydney doesn’t need 500 cashless pokies to ‘prove the technology works’. It’s 2,500 machines in Melbourne have already done that. What we need is the NSW govt to commit to making ALL pokies in NSW cashless. #PutPokiesInTheirPlace smh.com.au/national/nsw/n…

Shameful shift in language used by ⁦Chris Minns⁩ & ⁦David Harris MP⁩. From a commitment to cashless gambling to falsely claiming it’s ‘already failed’. From reigning in a problem industry to blaming the industry’s victims. #PutPokiesInTheirPlace theguardian.com/australia-news…

Both Chris Minns & Mark Speakman should commit to the following reforms recommended by experts: 1⃣Mandatory poker machine shutdowns from midnight to 10am; 2⃣A state-wide cashless gambling card with enforceable limits; 3⃣Tighter caps on machine numbers in high-risk communities.

“The record pokies tax take on gamblers’ losses is by far the biggest line item on the catwalk of sin taxes, and by the end of the forward estimates rakes in more than 40 times the money generated by betting (wagering) on 4-legged critters”. @themandarinau themandarin.com.au/294417-nsw-bud…
