That is the problem with what the Minister of State is bringing before the House today. The Government really needs to have a rethink here. This is seriously problematic legislation for those cohorts. I completely and utterly welcome the rest of it. We need strict regulation because problem gambling is an issue, as is gambling addiction. The gambling fund and authority are very good and very worthy and are deserving of our support. The problem here is in relation to community groups, charities, philanthropic bodies, and sports organisations which are going to be seriously impacted if this legislation gets through.
