Stephen Hart Unsubdivided ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ I support all of the policies- Federal, State & Local.  In relation to Local Government, I support gambling free public space, gambling free community sport & stopping the expansion of harmful gambling.  As a Councillor I have managed to have the Grants & Sponsorship Policy (6.1) exclude sponsorship for projects associated with gambling.
Maxwell Clark Unsubdivided ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Ending Gambling advertising and online gambling as this is making it easy for people to lose everything they hold dear and are falsely told that if they gamble online that they will always be a winner when in reality, they are not.  Also, there must be a stop put in place to stop the advertising of gambling during sporting events on TV etc.  Our children do not need to told that gambling is good and is apart of sport.
