All Bets Are On
Is it strange that the NSW government – Labor – have decided to authorize Keno games in hotels now, although the ALP Federal Opposition Leader, in the lead-up to the national election, is calling for a review of poker machine licensing, in respect to weaning state governments off that revenue source? Maybe not.

Meanwhile, mad props, as they say, to the Rabbitohs, who are planning to scrap the pokies from their club. As the inner city Leagues club, long located in Redfern, this is a socially responsible move, a signal to the community that I’m sure will be widely recognized and welcomed.
