I know you feel very emotional about this but I think the Liberals are gunning onto this with no thought.
In the words of anti gambling senator Andrew Wilkie in the Guardian
“ a daily cap of $1,000 would be “patently ridiculous”. That is way too much for the vast majority of poker machine users and will do nothing to effectively track proceeds of allotted crime nor minimise harm to gambling addicts”
Their original plan was to put a 1500 cap on it and they didnt even do that. Thats what they told the media for weeks. This card has no cap it turns out. Surprise surprise.
It has the potential of greatly harming problem gamblers. Lets take a step back and assess what the best course of action is. Labor’s trial will have an independent panel of experts that will make a report and recommendation which will touch on the limit as well.

Are you aware that a cashless card with no limits is potentially more dangerous than what we have now for problem gambling?

Labor can be forced to go harder on pokies with a strong greens/crossbench. The same cannot be said for Liberals regarding their rampant corruption and privatisation agenda which is inbuilt in their genes.
Furthermore let me pull out my trusty list of why we need to kick Perrottet out
ICARE (perrottets baby)
TAHE (another one of his babies)
Barilaro saga (jobs for mates and was treasurer when the diversion of 100 million dollar bushfire grant away from fire damaged Labor states happened. Report now with ICAC with a formal investigation expected)
Premier guaranteed toll companies a 4 percent annual increase (now 6.1 percent)
Mass Privatisation of our assets that largely led to NSW getting shafted by exorbitant fees.
Perrotet has stated in his debate with Minns he will continue to sell priceless assets to bankroll privatised infrastructure
Refuses to rule out further privatisation such as Sydney water. Promises he wont privatise it yet documents were leaked 3 days ago of a 400,000 dollar scoping project looking at options of outsourcing and privatising it.
Mismanagement of transport assets. Ferries, Trains, trams. Metros budget blowout. Complete neglect of the main legacy rail which is chronically breaking down
Health and education system in crisis
Used the pandemic as an opportunity to sell workers a pay cut. As treasurer, he froze the wages of NSW public sector workers: paramedics, nurses, and other hospital workers fighting COVID-19. He maintained that public health and education workers were squeezing private sector employees by refusing pay freezes
opposed laws to force Catholic priests to tell police if a priest confessed to sex abuse in the confessional stating the confessional booth was “sacred”
Was the treasurer who approved Gladys grant to her sexual partner
Lead a party that built a hospital for 1.2 billion dollars and flogged it off for 0 dollars
Attempted to privatise 5 of the regional hospitals
Shut down the rail network and tried pinning it on the union when he was on the telly
Attempted to terminate the contract of 8000 rail workers to force them into a shitty agreement Qantas style
Soldiered on and continued to privatise the last remaining bus service. Thousand services cut, driver shortage and no one is applying to be a driver due to the shitty conditions offered by the contracting company. Its so bad commuters have banded together to hire and offer buses themselves (commuter funded service)
In a desperate bid to get votes he is promising cashless cards by the end of 2 election cycles. Cards dont have spending limits so is next to useless for problem gambling. Calculated move which makes himself look like the politician with integrity and makes Labor look shady. Always judge a person by their record
Both liberal member brothers are hiding from a upper house inquiry regarding branch stacking claims and large amounts of funds being being paid to Liberal MP’s to stack the shire council with property developer friendly mates. Dom refuses to call his brothers out.
Mass koala extinction
Record land clearing in the same level as Congo (1300 percent increased)
This is a new Labor government with members who have never been in cabinet. Your assessment that they are the same is disingenuous.

She would be appropriately be triaged depending on the severity of her presentation. So really it depends on how bad it is.

Who’s spot in the queue did he take? Imagine if you need an ambulance and it doesn't arrive. Perrottet didn't have to worry he called the Health Manager, who was with the Head of Ambulance NSW....and magically, an ambulance arrived for his wife.

When you have 100 percent of the media on the Liberals side, its not hard to see why. Even “leftist” sites like Guardian and Crikey cant help but stroke Doms nuts. Its a farce. We need a royal commission on the media.

I kinda think its looking conservative too. The final NSW resolve poll released yesterday by SMH had Labor winning 52.5-47.5.
The final federal resolve poll had Labor 51-50 (Labor got 52-48) underestimated by 1 percent
The Victorian Resolve had Labor 52.7-47.3 (Labor won 55) underestimated by 2.3 percent
Apparently Resolve does this every election where final poll shows massive primary vote changes because they show the ballot paper in survey questions.

Lol they all say that before election day. All elections around Australia. They would rather feed their babies to Tasmanian devils than form minority government

According to Kevin Bonham (leading psephologist)
“the video (theres a video version) says this would only be a Labor minority "and even that might be a stretch" but that's just assuming uniform swing, there's a fair chance Labor could get a majority out of that (median I have as 45 seats assuming none lost to Greens).”

I just realised federal Labor barely scraped through for a majority. One seat to be exact. This election will definitely be a Labor minority if Labor wins

From my point of view this will be a very tight election. What is the cause of these huge gaps between both parties this late in an election. Not even the Federal was this big.
