Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Can I say to the Leader of the Opposition: rather than theorising about a draft report that is out for consultation, if he has got the slightest concern about problem gambling in our nation, he can approach the dispatch box now and we will give him leave and give him an opportunity to say he will back this government's reforms on problem gambling. We will give him an opportunity to say that he will pledge the Liberal and National parties to do something to address the scourge of poker machines around the country and the fact that so many Australian families actually have their budgets and their families broken by poker machine gambling. If he is really serious, I trust he is doing that now.
