As far as I’m concerned, poker machines aren’t gambling. They are programmed to keep a certain percentage of money that goes through them. Therefore the house can’t lose. Gambling is when both parties can lose. For that reason I’ve hardly ever played them.
However, I know there are heaps of Australians who do like to play them. The do-gooder, wowser, who wants to put a stop to all life’s pleasures, drinking, smoking and gambling, is on a concerted campaign to shut them all down.
There are three Australia party members in parliament. Two in State and one in federal. Now is the time to test out Australia Party’s policy of carrying out the will of the electorate. Contact these members and order them to oppose the wowser, do-gooder push against poker machines! If I was you, I’d get them to push for the amount the machines can keep to be fixed at 10 per cent, maximum. That way, it’d take you longer to lose your money!
