The Australian Hotels Association sat on the advisory panel for gambling reform – but it has strongly rejected its final recommendations for account-based gaming.
The powerful pubs and clubs lobby has refused to back the key recommendations in a long-awaited report into the state’s gambling system, insisting there was no credible evidence they would work.
“It is important that people have an opportunity to read the panel’s report while the government thoroughly considers it,” he said. The committee said in its final communique the recommendations offered the government a balanced way forward that prioritised harm minimisation while also giving industry time to transition in a manner that protected its viability.But the recommendations have been savaged by the committee’s own advisory panel comprised of industry groups, law enforcement representatives, harm minimisation advocates and academics.
“We are concerned that the executive committee’s report will give the government and other stakeholders a misleading impression that the recommendations have been informed by robust evidence and analysis,” the clubs lobby said. NSW Council of Social Services chief executive Cara Varian said it was not fair to label the cashless trial a failure due to low participation when nobody was required to sign up.
