Gambling Legislation Amendment (Pre-commitment and Carded Play) Bill 2024
Second reading
Debate resumed on motion of Melissa Horne:
That this bill be now read a second time.
And Danny O’Brien’s amendment:
That all the words after ‘That’ be omitted and replaced with the words ‘this house refuses to read this bill a second time until the government:
(1) provides evidence that its reforms will reduce gambling harm;
(2) evaluates and reports on the feasibility of new technology such as facial recognition technology and automated risk monitoring systems;
(3) delivers a process to protect border clubs from financial drift to interstate clubs; and
(4) improves parliamentary oversight of the reforms.’
The SPEAKER: The minister has moved that the bill be now read a second time. The member for Gippsland South has moved a reasoned amendment to this motion. He has proposed to omit all the words after ‘That’ and replace them with the words which appear on the notice paper. The question is:
That the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the question.
Those supporting the reasoned amendment by the member for Gippsland South should vote no.
