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?????

I agree with E wholeheartedly. I am astounded that a first world country like Australia allows the number of Pokies or gambling facilities around the country operate knowing what misery out of control gambling causes to families, especially children who are so easily influenced and don't know anybetter!! What message are these kids getting when they see their parents all hail and hearty whilst they gamble away the family earnings only to go hungry or without for the rest of the month because the money has gone down the slot machine hole instead of toward food and medicines. I think the fact that the government are making money out of this is a disgrace but evidently they dont care so just let it be because they have to fill their own coffers having spent all the money.... so they dont give a damn!!
