What do,you think of the proposed Poker Machine Reforms????
Do you believe that the Government should have the right to limit your Poker Machine Stakes................. I am not a Poker Machine fan, but I think I`m worried that the Government should not be able to tell people how to spend thier money (problem gamblers ???? maybe) but it seems to me that we are becoming a communist state. ANDREW WILKIE what do you think?????

It is a difficult question. I have been a problem gambler in the past. Not beaten (every now and then it flares up) but now pretty well controlled. I can tell you and the goverment that you can lose just as much money on a 1c machine as you can capped at a $1.
I don't think it is up to the goverment to tell you how you can spend your money.
That would be like them telling you how many packets of ciggies you can buy or how much you can spend on alcohol or even Hungry Jacks if it comes to that.
They are trying to tell us that we virtually can't celebrate Christmas!
Yes, the goverment is turning into somewhat of a dictatorship not communistic.
