Influencing the Gambling White Paper: The Process & Your Role
In this video, we delve into the ongoing discussions surrounding the gambling white paper, which could potentially lead to new laws affecting the gambling and betting industry. I share my insights on the paper and what I perceive to be the flaws in its approach.
We’ll discuss the legislative process, from the introduction of a white paper to the creation of a law, highlighting the multiple stages of readings, consultations, and revisions. Learn about the crucial role of public participation and how your opinion can truly make a difference, starting with the upcoming consultation stage.
We also reflect on the broader implications of government interference in various industries, comparing gambling legislation with the lack of regulation around other significant public health issues, like alcohol abuse and obesity.
Whether you’re a gambler, an industry professional, or simply an engaged citizen, this video is aimed at providing a detailed understanding of the legislative process and emphasizing the importance of your involvement in shaping a law. Remember, taking action is more effective than mere words.
