Will the Leader invite the Minister for Finance, as a shareholder in the national lottery, to come before the House to explain the diabolical and discriminatory decision taken by that company to remove lotto machines from most rural post offices and shops? Most of these machines will be moved to major shops on the east coast and people in rural areas will only have the opportunity to obtain quick picks. This is another attempt to undermine the viability of rural post offices and shops which surely runs contrary to Government policy.
