When is our government going to have some moral courage?

Sadly, Labor's notionally socialist past is long, long, in the rearview mirror.

Upsetting the gambling industry is liable to get your house firebombed, so it's unsurprising the status-quo "Labor" party isn't gonna do shit to really reign it in.

We're the worst in the world on gambling...

    It's a good start, but falls short of what we need. Let's hope this is the beginning and not the end of gambling reform.
