Show Notes
Next week, New South Wales pubs and clubs will enforce a six-hour break on poker machines, targeting early morning hours when problem gamblers lose the most. The Minns government revokes exemptions for six hundred fifty-nine venues, following a review that exposed hundreds of venues exploiting the perks. Reform advocates praise the decision, as research shows early hours hit addicts hardest. Only sixty-two venues applied to keep their deals, with every one revoked so far. New South Wales still lags behind states like Queensland, which closes half the pubs machines by midnight. The government plans more evidence-based changes to protect jobs and tackle gambling damage.
