I absolutely value my @tafeeducation and want every other Australian to have the same opportunities I had. The LNP have never supported TAFE. They denigrate TAFE graduates & attack our great public TAFE system at every opportunity. Shame on them. #RebuildWithTAFE

Can you believe this self entitled arrogant prick says he will cut fee free TAFE because those receiving it don't value it?

I'm sick of gambling industry, sporting code and media leaders holding sway over government gambling policy. Spare me the cries of apocalyptic losses if sensible reforms are introduced. For too long gambling interests have caused misery across every Australian postcode. Enough!

The image includes various visual elements, such as: A quote by Desmond Tutu: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Visuals representing solidarity with Palestine: A banner that reads "Free Palestine" accompanied by illustrations of flowers. The Palestinian flag is prominently featured. Other artistic elements: An image of a woman from a playing card (Queen of Spades). Artwork reminiscent of "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Hands in various colors raised as a symbol of unity or resistance. This collage combines quotes and symbols that speak to themes of justice, resistance, and solidarity with marginalized communities.

Australia has a gambling problem and NSW leads the way. The problem is not people, it's the highly-addictive-designed-to-be-that-way products and the loose legislation that allows this level of exploitation. #PutPokiesInTheirPlace
Jim Wackett@Jim_Wackett13 Sep 2024
The people of NSW lost over $4.1 BILLION to pokies in the first six months of 2024. The pub barons' harbourside mansions are funded by the people of Western Sydney that the pubs' toxic business model preys upon. It's time to #PutPokiesInTheirPlace smh.com.au/national/nsw/poki…

Pokies pulled from storage to meet booming demand as profits soar

A year after the premier sought to cap poker machines in the community, the number of pokies in pubs and clubs has risen as venues dust off old pokies to meet demand.

Well said @OffOdds ‘I spoke at the Peta Murphy’s…inquiry into online gambling harm…to explain…how dangerous the current level of advertising by gambling companies is. I had hoped that this would have been the catalyst for change once they saw the harm this industry was causing
