Gambling Harm Reduction update

I posted some months ago about the Gambling Harm Reduction Bill and the number of people wanting to make submissions. At long last I got my moment in the sun when some more time was scheduled for submissions. I had only two points to make - impact on national organisations and diversity of funding sources.

I didn't get many questions from the panel. They wanted to know what rate of success I had in making grant applications. And this was a question that was asked of a number of other submitters. I was forced to concede that grant funding was not the most efficient and sustainable fundraising tool for larger organisations.

So no clear direction yet on what the committee might be thinking.
