Greens Shadow Gaming spokesperson Kim Booth MP said that it was reprehensible that the TGC had not consulted with key stakeholders such as Anglicare, TasCOSS and Relationships Australia to gather their feedback, a fact boldly stated on page three on the report: “the TGC has chosen not to consult with any stakeholders prior to formulating its advice,” but that instead of consulting stakeholders the TGC relied upon, and thanked, the Department of Treasury for “drawing together much of the information the TGC required for this response.”
