On behalf of the Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform, I present the following reports of the committee: Final reports of the Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform; Poker Machine Harm Reduction Tax (Administration) Bill 2008, and Poker Machine (Reduced Losses—Interim Measures) Bill 2010.

In accordance with standing order 39(f) the report was made a parliamentary paper.

by leave—In regard to the Poker Machine (Reduced Losses—Interim Measures) Bill 2010, the committee has decided to discharge this inquiry given the work undertaken in this area for the committee's first inquiry into the design and implementation of a mandatory precommitment system for electronic gaming machines. In regard to the Poker Machine Harm Reduction Tax (Administration) Bill 2008, the committee has decided to discharge this inquiry given the previous inquiry conducted by the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs and the bill's dependence on further legislation which has not yet been introduced.
