Only in part. Local jurisdiction Greens and Labor (ie Greens lead Labor around as a mere flunky). Years ago, warned the local clubs and such to longer term gambling (ie read slots) reforms, Clubs laughed openly and replied along the lines "we are providing an essential community service, our patrons will not allow it". Then all went out and increased the numbers of slots and built new and larger gaming lunges. Now quite restrictive gaming reforms being promulgated, much to the detriment of pokie revenue dependent clubs. The significance of the reforms is very clever by using It, technology and very expense software to oversee the centralisation and reporting of individual gambling harm. Now the clubs and the providers (ALL and Ainsworth and others) are struggling with the implementation, and guess what, no more new gaming machines, but even many machines are retired from service. Last word the club patrons are generally supportive of these reforms, mugged by the clubs for too long.
