Hey, question? Has there been any reduction in Pokies since Nick Xenophon has come in, or has it not been effective?

I am horrified by this news that Safeway/Woolworths are so heavily entrenched in the pokies culture. The Pokies have a huge impact on our society. Many of our problem gamblers inherited the problem and the cycle will continue if pokies venues are promoted as "child friendly/family friendly". Along with Woolies growing dependence on selling lower-grade overseas product, especially from China, to a country that should be able to sustain our own nutrition requirements, I have decided to buy my groceries from independant grocers. Often family grocers that support aussie farmers, and sell fresh (not year old) product.

i want to start a campaign in my suburb to rid our local woolies owned tavern of pokies, if we can get enough signitures these ostrich type pollies will have to sit up and listen, Rudd is full of wind he states he hates them , now he realises how much revenue they make he is very quiet about them, These machines are a scourge on society and an artificial reef should be made out of them, they are just revenue collectors for the goverment and the bloated parasitical elite, kids i know eat weeties for dinner because there is no money for proper food , woolies dont care they sell the weeties to, may be we could get our pubs back like they used to be if we got rid of them , instead of mini casinos in every suburb run by the ex fruit and vegie manager from the store

Last Christmas the Carols in the Domain were sponsored by Woolworth’s supermarkets, the beneficiary of the event is the Salvation Army. I found this disturbing that the Salvos would be involved in this as it appeared to me that this is a conflict of interest. I wrote to the Salvos and they replied that they don't actually get the money direct from Woolworths but it is passed on by the organiser. Convenient that this is the excuse that this somehow makes it acceptable that the company who creates a lot of the misery for families by it's profiteering from it's gambling and alcohol venues gives the Salvos most of it's clients. Tim Costello from World Vision is awake to this type of behaviour and would not accept donations from any gambling company. This is not the only area that Woolworth’s gets it's PR machine in action, the other is in fruit and vegetable as well as meat. Every year it promotes it's fund raiser for the bush but on the other hand is more than happy to obtain goods from overseas grower. It is time that someone took this company to task.
