The media are falling over themselves to say what a great guy Chris Minns is. If he is such a great guy why is he opposing cashless gaming? Poker machines cause poverty among the very people he claims to represent.
He will ‘trial’ it on 500 machines, the addicted gamblers will go somewhere else and gamble, then he’ll say it doesn’t work and forget about it.
He is just another Labor conman. Poker machines were the biggest issue in the election. The clubs and pubs are like drug pushers – parasites and bloodsuckers feeding off someone else’s addiction.
