Sign the Petition -- Step 2
This email will be sent to the premier and minister responsible for gambling in your state as well as to the CEO of Woolworths
I call upon you to do everything in your power to ban children from venues where
pokie gambling is conducted.
Children are too young to make decisions about gambling.
Parents and kids are being enticed inside these pokie places by offers of free food, free movies and children's entertainment. Children's play areas host lighted up coin operated machines based on chance with titles such as "A Winner Every Time". These venues are often located in poorer communities where these offers are so attractive for parents in these difficult times.
There are plenty of years when they are adults to make decisions about legal adult entertainments like alcohol, brothels, betting, smoking and pokie gambling. Let them be kids for their precious few years of childhood.
The cost to the venue is no more than painting a sign on the door and enforcing it with existing staff.
Please draw the line on pokie gambling with our children.
