Strongly agree

Yes, it is the only way to stop criminals from using poker machines to launder money.

Labor governments have heavily cited the findings of crime commissions regarding money laundering in pubs and clubs to justify the transition to cashless gaming systems.

Strongly agree

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

This aligns closely with the Victorian Labor government's 2023 reforms, which include mandatory pre-commitment limits and load-up caps to reduce gambling harm.

Disagree

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

While Labor maintains strong ties to the club industry, they are currently proceeding with reforms despite industry concerns about revenue loss.

Disagree

Strongly disagree

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

Labor generally supports regulatory oversight and social harm reduction over libertarian arguments regarding government tracking of spending.
