Minns should have announced that, by the end of his first term, cashless cards would be needed to play pokies in NSW as recommended by the crime commissioner, police commissioner and countless health practitioners. That’s because they don’t commit to the reform that matters most and which Dominic Perrottet has already proposed: the introduction of a universal cashless gambling card that requires pre-commitment to a spending limit. On the surface some of Labor’s policies seem to have merit, but dig deeper and you realise they lack real substance.
