bwheatle - correct, and if the NSW DGR haven't taken anyone to court over it by now, they never will.

That law was set up just before the NSW TAB was privatised, and when No.1 Betting Shop was at its peak in Vanuatu. Number One employed two QCs and got a punter to walk into a police station with transcripts, tape recordings, the works..... and they refused to prosecute him.

It's purely smoke & mirrors, and odds-on it would fall down in court if tested.
