It's so shit.

I've spent most of my life wishing for a Labor government with a strong mandate. That finally arrives with the opportunity for real progressive social policy and suddenly they decide they want to be centrist.

Fuckwits. This is not what I voted for and it's unlikely I will vote Labor again.

Not all Australians. The gambling companies, and the political parties they support (Liberal & Labor) benefit from this legislation not implementing the Murphy Report recommendations.
