Residents of Moyne Shire have made their opinions clear about pokies. They have voted against putting machines in gaming venues across the city, according to a recent survey of nearly 2000 individuals. The results of the survey indicated that 1500 of the 1723 individuals stated that they were against pokie machines coming to their city.

This is an overwhelming percentage of 90%, indicating that the majority of Moyne Shire residents do not believe that poker machines have any place in their town. Most of those surveyed were from Port Fairy, an area which recently launched an initiative to stop poker machines from being built in the small town. The community effort saw a great deal of success and, so far, the residents have been able to keep pokies out of Port Fairy.

The campaign against pokies has been called No Pokies for Moyne, and its members are pleased with their success. Campaigned Es Warmurth is impressed with the results of the recent survey and believes that the they reflect a wider community sentiment. Business owners are also pokies coming to town.

If poker machines are kept away from businesses in the area, residents will have more disposable income to spend at the bars and restaurants rather than on poker machines.
