WEBVTT - Gambling Inquiry Gets Heated

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Welcome to the update. I'm Michelle Stevenson.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Prominent wagering companies have admitted they're not sure how much

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>of their revenue comes from proceeds of crime. Representatives from

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>sports Bet and tab Corp are appearing before a Senate probe,

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>which has already heard allegations one problem gambler stole twelve

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>million dollars to fund his betting addiction. It prompted a

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty heated exchange between Green Senator Sarah Hanson Young and

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 1>the sports Bet wrap. How much of your revenue is

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>from proceeds of crime?

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you know? I don't have a figure that you're

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>asking for.

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>What I'm trying to emphasize.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Is we have some of it is, isn't it? I

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>think the way I can some of it is I

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 2>can try yes or no.

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>The federal government, meantime, has refused to answer if it

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>will strengthen the gambling advertising laws. Advocates argue that the

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>bill should include a ban on inducements, but acting at

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Primate to Richard Miles says this is not currently being considered.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>We've looked at this issue in detail over a long

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>period of time. There is a balance that has to

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>be struck here and we intend to reach that balance.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 2>But in the process we've engaged in the toughest set

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>of reforms in respect of gambling and gambling advertising that

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 2>we have seen.

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>The Treasurer is set to backtrack on part of the

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>property tax changes unveiled in the May budget. It follows

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>concerns that widows and domestic violence survivors could be unfairly

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>stripped of tax concessions after a death or relationship at

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>breakdown well One Nation is trailing behind the Coalition and

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Labor in Victoria according to the latest opinion polls just

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.520

<v Speaker 1>two Victoria's penguin colonies are under threat as bird flu spreads,

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>with fears that the virus could actually devastate the states

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>iconic seabirds. Conservationists worn up to forty percent of penguins

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>at Phillip Island and Saint Kilda could be wiped out

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>if the outbreak takes hold. At a last minute reprieve

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>for barbecue's galore. With the Aussie company surviving in all

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.680

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 3>The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 3>or impulsive theme. It is something that I had decided

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 3>to plan that I had quietly need a long time ago.
