| Tully | Smith | Harrison | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | I am proud to support all Alliance for Gambling Reform Victorian Local Government policies. I support gambling-free public space, and I do believe that social isolation is a key risk factor to gambling harm. You are correct in saying that councils can play a crucial role in providing opportunities to socialise away from gambling and I support gambling-free public spaces. Community Sport must absolutely be gambling free and councils should play an active role in supporting community clubs and codes to go gambling-free. Regarding stoping the expansion of gambling in our suburbs & towns, I couldn’t agree more. I will fight the expansion of pokies in Wyndham, i’ll oppose it, every time! Pokies have no place in our suburbs. |
| Eli | Muse | Harrison | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Advocate to state and federal governments for legislative reform to reduce and prevent gambling harm 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 It is long overdue to crack down on poker machines and gambling. They are akin to drug addiction. All arms of government needs to take responsibility by putting in stricter policies and regulations to reduce gambling harm, and not pass responsibility solely on the individual due to the high addictive nature of the activity. |
