The latest figures just released 17th. July by the Federal Government, state that gambling had a 8 billion dollar turn over this year ,which is up again on last year , they said the majority was from POKER MACHINES.

The Government also expressed concern & were going to look at possible ways of minimising the volumn in the clubs , pubs & casinos.

The figures are realy obvious now, that Gambling percentage growth has exceeded retail store growth ,& thats a worry when a number of stores are struggling.
This is what the Retail Association has been advising the Government for some time.

The Government is the real addict here , lets see if they can shake this monkey off their back or will profit before principle once again rou` the day .
