<br>"From the time of the announcement to lower stakes and its implementation, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>"In addition, 2 people will tragically take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, for that reason as much as any other, I think this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>
|
||||
<br>She added: "It is a reality of federal government that ministers should comply with collective duty and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made versus your dreams relating to your own portfolio."<br>

|
||||
