- LilBytes 2y agoThat's fair, West Australia represents 3 million of Australias 26 million people. The comment above tragically is true for most of the country.
- nobodyandproud 2y agoI’m tired of seeing quips like, “I was for legalizing gambling until it impacted my friend…”. What kept Western Australia free from the gambling legalization mistake?
- ikr678 2y agoReligious lobbying + labor protections. This is a state that prior to 2012 had no sunday retail trading (with some exceptions). Also the WA state has alternate revenue sources (mining royalties) that the other Australian states do not. There is gambling in WA, just not physical slot machines/TABs/keno in every licensed venue.
