National Gambling Reform Bill 2012 — Second Reading — Read a second time
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 94% attendance
This division relates to the Policy For putting restrictions on gambling.
The majority voted in favour of amendments moved by Independent MP Tony Windsor. This means that the majority support the amendments and want to integrate them into the bill.
Mr Windsor explains that these amendments "relate to the timing of the application of the bill"(Read Mr Windsor's full explanation of his amendments here. ) and would delay the precommitment-ready deadline for electronic gaming machines that is required by the bill.
Background to the bill
The National Gambling Reform Bill 2012 was introduced along with the National Gambling Reform (Related Matters) Bill (No. 1) 2012 and the National Gambling Reform (Related Matters) Bill (No. 2) 2012. Together, these bills relate to a national scheme for gaming machines in order to reduce the harms associated with gambling on these machines.
According to the bills digest, these bills introduce the following:
)
Precommitment involves a gambler setting a loss limit before they commence playing. Independent MP Andrew Wilkie made the introduction of mandatory precommitment a key part of his agreement to support the minority Gillard Labor Government after the 2010 election.(Read more about Mr Wilkie's commitment to introducing precommitment here. ) Although the Labor Government originally agreed to introduce mandatory precommitment, these bills limit the reforms to ensuring the EGMs have precommitment capability.(Read more about the change in the Labor Government's approach to gambling reform on ABC News here.) There will also be a mandatory precommitment trial, to test its feasibility.
Nobody rebelled against their party.
