Pathetic Parliaments

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.
