Quit Pokieing Me

The Victorian state Liberals are once again to be applauded for their continued, superficial or not, social conscience.

Although the reasons are probably to highlight a reliance on gambling revenue in the Labor party, the pledge to reduce the number of poker machines by 5000 is welcome.

Currently there are 27,500.
Under Labor, 27,500. (Unless they choose to alter their current policy.)
Under Liberals, 22,500.
Under Greens, 10,000. (That's from policy booklet, it's 7,500 according to The Age.)

It's not a perfect solution - there's no massive maximum credit balance, winning caps, removal of banknote acceptors, etc, (unlike The Greens), but it is a bit of a step in the right direction, and credit where it's due.

However, Baillieu also vowed to make taxpayer-funded "political advertising a thing of the past" which, in light of the Federal Lib's efforts, I would hold in no esteem whatsoever.

I support tax payer funding of political parties if it means reduced chance of special interests interfering in party policies. And you're right - under the new changes people can give the libs 10k at a time and it does not register. Unbelievable.
