Our parliaments, and by implication, our politicians are pathetic!I have just discovered that by the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 our governments have ensured that Australians can only gamble in Australian venues. In other words, the immoral collection of gambling tax has been protected.In Victoria, that’s $1.7 Billion per year. The only other taxation category which raised more money is euphemistically called “Land Transfer Tax“ … in other words, Stamp Duty on property purchases. A tax which governments promised to cease after the introduction of the GST.
