Athenry to Sydney.

A South Australian Centre for Economics study estimated that for every $1m spent on pub/club food and meals, 20 jobs are created, and for every $1m spent on pokies only 3 jobs are created. Pokies are terrible for the economy but are cash cows for pub barons and club-casinos.

$21 million is lost every day to NSW poker machines, machines designed to addict.
Every.
Single.
Day.
It’s time to #putpokiesintheirplace by:
1. Introducing a mandatory, universal cashless gaming card.
2. Powering down pokies after midnight.

It’s been a tough year.

Plenty of people feel distressed, anxious, sad or lonely over the festive season.

Spread some kindness this week and reassure those around you that you’re there for them. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself as well!
