Right. The article I was referring to is this one: https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...illion-each-year-by-2021-20180712-p4zr5m.html
What you say about younger types preferring online makes sense, but I suspect we have a generation to get through before that becomes commonplace....State Governments have few sources of revenue. Take out land tax and stamp duty and there's not much left. DargaI'd love for a level of legislative reform but don't expect to see it anytime soon.
This isn't the study I read and it's limited in its scope but it adds that overall the rate of gambling is declining and pokies remain the source of over half the income of the industry. On legislation, I can't see the state government legislating against gambling in any significant way, it's a source of income, state governments have few others. Andrews is a big spender, including on his own salary, his government needs income.
