THE

gambling figures for Queensland are even worse than last stated, in fact, 2017 was the highest figure in Queensland history at nearly $4 billion.

Almost 60 per cent or as high as 75 per cent was put through the pokies, by comparison $7 million went through the casinos. That’s an utter disgrace and in my opinion is reason enough to get rid of the pokies and the misery, crime and Centerlink Pensions being misused.

Watching TV and during the English version of The Chase on Channel 7, it was inundated with ads for a particular betting company. I think the betting industry has been allowed to grow into a toothless tiger which is out of control but irrespective who is in power, the revenue’s just too good for them to do anything about it.
