Statutes Amendment (Gambling Regulation) Bill

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 14 November 2019.)

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (16:38): As mentioned in my contribution to the Gambling Administration Bill, this is part of a package of reforms. Most of the comments I have just made in relation to the other bill also apply to this bill, and the opposition will be supporting it. The gambling regulation bill seeks to amend three acts: the Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000, the Casino Act 1997 and the Gaming Machines Act 1992.

As mentioned, the investigation into online gambling is a particularly important aspect of these reforms, and a focus on gambling abuse and addictions is something that is absolutely important in terms of changes to the gambling situations in this state. There is no need to reiterate what I have said in regard to the previous bill; therefore, I commend the bill to the council.

Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. T.J. Stephens.


At 16:41 the council adjourned until Wednesday 27 November 2019 at 11:00.
