<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4" face="Helvetica"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt">Are you concerned about problem gambling in the community? If so... well this is a chance for you to voice your opinion. The proposed gambling reforms
aim to prevent people getting into difficulties with poker machine gambling and assist those who may be developing problems. Based on the findings of extensive research by the Productivity Commission in 2009 our Prime minister has promised to change the technology
of pokies to make them safer by introducing a universal pre-commitment system. This will allow every person who gambles on the pokies to set personal limits on the amount of money they are prepared to lose BEFORE they start to gamble. This is a big move to
prevent problem gambling in our Country and we know the Gambling Industry isn't happy about it - they depend on between 40 - 60% if their profits from those gambling problematically. They are concerned about losing money, not people, and are prepared to spend
$10 million on a campaign to resist the changes. We need to get a community voice heard. If YOU think that pre-commitment is a good idea than please sign our petition and HAVE YOUR SAY...
