The Independent Gaming Authority in South Australia has called for the banning of the sale of Keno from newsagencies among a series of proposed gaming reforms for SA announced today. The ABC news site has a story of initial reaction to this. Newsagents were represented at the IGA study by June Carter of Glenside newsagency and Australian Newsagents’ Federation (SA Branch).. A full list of submissions can be found here.
The loss of Keno by SA Newsagents would be a blow and needs to be considered carefully by Government. Small business jobs would be at stake.
Is this the thin edge of the wedge? Will lotto be next for all of us? If this is the case then I for one will be broke and Wollies and Coles will announce yet another record profit.
