Email Tips
+
MPs staff tend to lump form letters together so if you can, please change the text especially the beginning of the email.
Writing your own subject line and message is more impactful than a form letter.
Keep your message short and punchy – a couple of simple sentences explaining why you care is perfect.
Be polite – it’s always best to get the message across in a friendly way.

Stand up for gambling reform!
Good afternoon, We want our clubs and pubs back as safe social centres, like the citizens of Western Australia and most of the rest of the world enjoy. I’m writing to particular MPs from the Nationals and ALP because you hold the key to NSW seeing real, effective reform to prevent harm from gambling. I am asking you to stand up and speak out in your party caucus meetings to say it’s time that real action occurred to restore our clubs and pubs, keep crime out, and require venues to play their part in preventing gambling harm. We know the gambling industry has taken over our clubs and pubs, and that industry tries to block, delay or corrupt any reforms, because they want their revenue stream from addiction to continue. We know money laundering occurs in our clubs and pubs and they should not be places for organised crime to clean their drug and human trafficking profits. We need to start now in turning the industry around. A universal cashless system which helps people manage their gambling, but cuts out money laundering is an obvious solution that we all need. Making venues enforce the self-exclusion deeds they’ve offered people for the last 20 years is a reasonable, simple, overdue step. Families need to know the pathway to follow to get a loved one excluded in a crisis. We know venues install facial recognition technology and card readers when they are upgrading their member experiences (The Drop industry newsletter has articles all the time about this). They can afford it.
