Chief Stipe Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The Government should close down all Pokie outlets until the virus issue is over. They are a non-essential serivice, they aggregate large numbers of at risk people, have high turnover of people pressing the same buttons and the rooms have little "social distancing". The Casinos have done it. Plus closing them down might direct the benefit increases to be spent on better choices. Food or the TAB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being somewhat facetious but it makes sense. If I was a pub owner that had them I'd being doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yep. They should reduce code distributions at a guess to about 30% of current levels. Close the RIU and JCA immediately. Go back to club committee stewards voluntarily performing the integrity functions and provide training and support for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 yes, and give clubs the money they earn on their meetings so they can set their own stakes levels -and sink or swim because of their own efforts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
