Queensland LNP promises to increase pokies cap for clubs with more than two premises (www.abc.net.au)

In short:

Queensland's LNP opposition wants to increase the cap on poker machines that can operate at clubs with more than two premises.

The gaming machine cap for a club licensee with three or more sites is 500, but the LNP wants to lift that to 700.

What's next?

The LNP is taking the policy to the looming October state election, arguing that the proposal would benefit smaller clubs facing closure.

... Don't these statements contradict each other?

-> Applies only to businesses with more than two premises

-> benefits "smaller clubs"

???

Yes, but the Greens are rarely in a position to make decisions.

@macrocephalic @Zagorath Vote for Greens and Indies whenever you can, the tide is slowly turning to #BreakTheDuopoly. The next federal election could see the duopoly in a minority position.
