My question is specifically to the Prime Minister, because the community wants to hear his answer. Prime Minister, I have just given notice of a private member's bill to combat poker machine problem gambling that would implement the Productivity Commission recommendations of $1 maximum bets and mandatory precommitment. Seeing as problem gamblers lose $5 billion annually and suffer terribly to the parasites in the poker machine industry—something you are on the record as being concerned with—will you support the bill or at least allow a debate on it?
