NSW has the highest concentration of pokies outside of Las Vegas, we have a massive gambling problem and yes many people seem to not understand it.
With the recent rise in sports betting bullshit the gambling companies are doing their best to embed this as part of Aussie culture, which is shameful.
Gambling, and in particular sports betting and pokies, are a fucking stain on our nation.
Where is talk about gambling reform in the greater cost of living discussion? It's sure as hell not hoping, and it affects some of the most at risk groups.
It brings no value to our society.
