Agree

Yes, and enforce a strict daily spending cap to stop addicts from destroying their families.

While the Liberals supported cashless cards and harm reduction, their policy focused more on user-set limits rather than government-mandated 'strict' caps, though the general sentiment aligns.

Disagree

No, the government has no business tracking how law-abiding citizens spend their own money.

Although some members hold libertarian views on privacy, the party leadership prioritized law enforcement and social harm reduction over the 'right to privacy' for cash transactions in clubs.

Disagree

No, this will bankrupt local clubs and pubs that rely on gaming revenue to survive.

The Liberal Party proposed financial assistance packages for clubs to transition, indicating they believed the reform was necessary despite the potential economic impact on the industry.

Disagree

No, focus on the root causes of addiction instead of treating every adult like a child.

The Liberal policy shifted toward structural technological intervention (cashless cards) rather than relying solely on individual responsibility or addressing 'root causes' alone.

Strongly disagree
