Yet another wrench has been thrown in Andrew Wilkie's plans to implement pokie reform across Australia. In addition to the numerous clubs fighting the reform, Labour MPs are now voicing their concerns about the initiative. According to Attorney General Robert McClelland, clubs and club owners need more information about the workings of pokie reform.

They should be provided with a concise overview about how pokie reform will work and how it will benefit the country at large. Whenever changes are made to gambling laws, there is always an in-depth review process, in which concerned parties are provided with information about the new legislation.

Such a process has yet to be held in the case of pokie reforms, and clubs across the country are requesting that this is done before the legislation is passed. Pokie reform has the potential to have a huge impact on the Australian gambling industry and Labour MPs feel that it is only fair that they are provided with a concise overview.

A trial would present the perfect opportunity for clubs to understand exactly how precommitment would work and how it would benefit individuals across Australia. Otherwise, they would be entering into the initiative blindly, without fully understanding pokie reform.
