If you do go to my website you will see when I did have the opportunity to serve the Greater Dandenong council as the Independent New Dandenong ward millennium councillor in the years 2000 - 2003 I did my best to introduce gambling reform . I have attached a reference from the Mayor and CEO of the Council at the time. I will be more than willing to reduce and prevent harm caused by gambling as well as support families affected by this habit and support reform all the way. Thank you for the interest. www.geraldinegonsalvez.com |
| Eugene | Gvozdenko | Keysborough | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | I strongly agree with the following demands: Cessation of donations by the gambling industry to state and federal politicians. A reduction in the dependency of AFL clubs on pokies as a source of revenue. Prohibition of sports betting advertising on television during G-rated viewing times. $1 maximum bets, coupled with a maximum limit upon pokies losses of $120 per hour. Wider role for councils and local communities in deciding gambling applications. |

Machines are subject to audit and once a certain amount of revenue is received the machines must payout the excess in winnngs. Winnings must also be randomly generate with players having a 50% chance of wining. |
| Gam | Le | Keysborough South | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | The policies I support includes 'address gambling harm as a public health issue', 'reduce venue opening hours', 'end gambling ads' and 'stopping the expansion of gambling in our suburbs and towns. |
| Lana | Formoso | Noble Park North | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | To not make council grants available to venues or organisations that operate EGMs To not allow future poker machine on Council land, and plan and support the transition Discarding the phrases 'responsible gambling' and 'problem gambling' from council documents and discussions. These phrases reinforce stigma by placing responsibility for gambling harm and addiction on the individual instead of on the systems and structures in place that enable gambling harm Shift to the public health narrative of referring to 'gambling harm' Do an assessment of social and economic impacts of poker machine venue applications, and commit resources to opposing those that will negatively impact the community Maximise community awareness of and engagement with poker machine venue applications Ensure venues are compliant with planning and other requirements through active enforcement Advocate to state and federal governments for legislative reform to reduce and prevent gambling harm Create awareness in the local community by creating news stories around gambling harm and undertake other harm minimisation projects |
| NIZAR | ASHKAR | Noble Park North | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | I actually support ALL policies. I am dead set against gambling in the first place. If it is impossible to abolish altogether, let's minimise its spread and harm at least. All gambling venues and instruments, including poker machines, derive unfair income at the expense of gullible addicted people who need help and education about their gambling problem. The social cost to families and community at large is very similar to that of illicit drug abuse, yet we perceive these money-making practices as acceptable while we outlaw drug dealing trade. The cost is too large to ignore, and we need to be responsible. Just as we strive for a better society through fighting smoking, drinking, and substance abuse, we need to have gambling perceived in the same light with regards to harm to our society. |
| Richard | Lim | Springvale Central | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | I support all of the policies stated in the Information Pack, particularly reducing venue opening hours and ceasing expansion of gambling in our LGA. I strongly advocate the restriction/reduction of poker machines and opening hours, and have produced an online Facebook clip raising awareness of the issues of gambling a few months ago which I have linked below.
