Candidate Information Pack
do you support?
What is your position on poker machine policy?
Tracie Lund Central ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ reducing hours poker machines can be accessed
Ella Darling Central Ward ❌ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ All of them! Especially support rightly shifting the narrative from placing blame on users for their addiction to those profiting from the systems. Also support very clearly discouraging continuation of EGM operation in venues but also supporting them in the transition. Idea of starting up alternative spaces/activities gets me excited!
Mark Richards East Ward ❌ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ End gambling ads. Ban near misses. Ban inducements & loyalty schemes.
