What we know in NSW election lead up: Perrottet supports gambling reform. Lib Transport Min David Elliott, former AHA exec, raised Nazi uniform rumour with Premier. Elliott warned against demonising poker machines. Elliott’s son works for gambling tech corp Aristocrat. #auspol 🧵
Elliott excuses himself from pokies/ cashless card debate because of son’s job with pokies tech company. Lab Chris Minns does not support pokies reform cashless card. Nazi uniform scandal breaks and is dead cat designed to move public scrutiny away from gambling reform. #auspol
So who benefits from Nazi uniform scandal? Clubs NSW, AHA, gambling companies and Labor which coincidentally doesn’t back gambling reform. We are witnessing another state election bought by gambling interests. #StateCapture Tasmania 2018; NSW 2023. Watch donations and advertising
I want to see more Greens and Independents elected in NSW and balance of power politics entrenched to bring public interest back to politics. I don’t support NSW Libs or Lab but it is important that gambling industry doesn’t get away with this power play. #auspol

Before journalists give time to #Murdoch#LNP#transmission hikes, ask who is driver of price hikes? @AngusTaylorMP has gazetted ‘if Industry Research and Development (Supporting Critical Transmission Infrastructure Program) Instrument 2021.’ It’s billions$$ cash splash #auspol
This instrument can still be disallowed post election. So acid now on #Murdoch and #LNP#Lab to commit to disallow if they are serious about not driving up power bills by driving unnecessary transmission and forcing community to pay for their stupidity #auspol#Disallow
