Given what is likely to happen in relation to even minimalist gambling reform, I thought it was important to revive the Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform, which did do a lot of useful work. It had an oversight role. It looked at gambling addiction, gambling reform and matters that needed to be attended to especially at the Commonwealth level. I think it would be a terrible shame, notwithstanding the ALP's position to withdraw its previous support for some minimalist legislative reforms, to not have this committee continue to do the very good work it was doing.
