I guess that’s a good first step… towards making gambling undesired and unapproachable pverall, as much as possible.
(I’m assuming here that “simply” making it illegal overnight might not work and may only make it more attractive to some people. So the correct approach is to really make it less attractive.)

The Catholic club in my suburb renamed itself (to the name of the suburb) perhaps to obscure their reliance on pokies.

It’s important to find shared mutual interest across traditional political lines, and I’m glad these two parties have.
