Did you know that NSW has 34% of the WORLD’s poker machines?
Or that last year there were a total of 1 MILLION gambling ads on free-to-air television alone?
Or that, on average, each adult loses $1,527 to gambling every year?
Gambling is a leading cause of suicide in young adults, a leading cause in domestic violence and a leading cause in metal health issues.
More than 70% of Australians support a total ban on gambling advertising.
Yet gambling companies are grooming young children without challenge with both the major federal parties having done nothing and committed to nothing.
Peta Murphy’s legacy is being trashed through lack of commitments to implementing the very recommendations the committee she lead made, with MPs of all sides on the committee unanimously agreeing with the recommendations.
The role of Governments is to lead, not to be lead by vested interests seeking to profit through the misery of the citizens they are meant to represent.
I’m extremely proud of Councils strong stand against gambling in Monash, and the raft of local changes we’ve made to stamp out advertising on our land and in our sporting clubs and local communities.
These were the BEST biscuits ever made; coffee scrolls.
But Arnotts and the big guys squashed them.
What were your favs that are no longer around?
I loved those and the apple scrolls. They had green icing.
The girls and I have made these ourselves, very easy. Here’s the recipe: www.wandercooks.com/coffee-scroll-biscuits/

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
(Thank-you to the They shall grow not o for a fitting tribute to our fallen)
