ban bloody pokies, page-11

    I think most here would agree that pokies are a blight on our communities.

    As an aside, did anyone know that Woolworths is the largest owner of poker machines in Australia?

    I wonder how all the Woolworths shareholders feel about profiting from the misery of problem gamblers? That's really what they're doing when they bank their WOW divvy check. I don't think anyone can be proud of wealth gained by exploiting the vulnerable.

    I suspect the average retail WOW shareholder has not really given this much thought and is not aware of their indirect participation in the pokies scourge.
