InactiveI think what this report fails to mention is the extent of the family intervention part…
I heard on the radio the other day that they are going to let families ‘dob in’ their problem gambler family members to the government, allowing the gvmt to force the person to ‘rehab’ and allowing them (gvmt/families of problem gambler) to redirect their wage somewhere else to stop them spending so much on it…
Ahhhh… the word ridiculous comes to mind.
On a light hearted note, can you imagine all the women who will be dobbing on their partners:
“Yeah just redirect his wage to MY bank account” :roflmao:

patrickidmgMemberIt seems that this idea of Clubs Australia is based upon one that is running in South Australia since 2004. They have processed 150 complaints and taken formal action in 10 of them. That makes about 2 per year!
You can really see this improve the gambling problems in Australia!
