Please Mr Wilkie stop poker machines on the Spirit
Please Mr Wilkie stop poker machines on the Spirit.
Lara Giddings told Parliament she didn’t believe the government should run gambling outfits as a justification for her sale of Tote Tasmania to that Queensland ex Tasmanian outfit Tattersalls.
She is hypocritical when the government owned monopoly TT Line runs poker machines on the Spirit.
Many people lose hundreds of dollars playing these monsters.
It’s a disgrace. Also the TT Line owns the third rate Edgewater Hotel, watering hole to many of the poorest residents of East Devonport, and they run pokies there as well as the Tote.
The government effectively runs a gambling establishment in East Devonport that, if Lara’s logic to parliament is authentic, ought to be closed down. Keep up your good work Andrew and get the pokies on the Spirit closed down and get all gambling from the Edgewater closed also.
