It is an inditement on both Labour and National that they support gambling as a means of funding community services when they are aware of the damage it does. Worthy community groups should be state funded (without the bureaucratic overload) as this should be a more efficient way to support community groups.
The only good that comes from pokies is the community funding. If we are going to have pokies or gambling it needs to contribute to local community initiatives or it needs to be banned ? The cost of poverty induced by gambling addiction is massive it’s only the profits of this vulture industry that perpetuate its cancerous activities. ( I think I need a proper job)

Makes one wonder if we've ever counted the cost of gambling on people and measured weather the community benefits from profit actually measure up?
Absolutely the 'big question'
I thought it was already illegal. I have seen signs at Lotto retailers' premises which prohibit sales to under 18s
