Minority report by Labor Senators
[1] See Productivity Commission, Australia’s
Gambling Industries, 26/11/99: “blanket bans on specific forms of gambling to
protect consumers would not be viable or desirable”: pp.16.1. 16.7-16.10;
policy of prohibition likely to be less enforceable than allowing some licensed
sites; making it illegal to operate or use online gaming sites (this Bill has
not even gone that far) would have the likely effect of reducing their use,
albeit while also creating a black market; State governments may lose
significant sources of revenue offshore; people accessing offshore sites may be
exposed to significant risks while governments would be unable to regulate
consumer protection features; domestic commercial and export opportunities
would be eliminated; reduction of consumer choice: pp.18.54, 18.55, 18.57.
