I got a Xenophon for Christmas when I was kid - did a pretty mean rendition of Twinkle Twinkle if I say so myself...

But on second thoughts - isn't Pauline Hanson a Xenophon?

Now I'm fucken confused.

Okay mate, fair enough. But realize it is a touchie subject for a lot of people that has had someone close to them ruined by the pokies. I think you'll find the majority of the asshole gamblers at the tables, most of the people sitting at the poker machines are quiet , lonely depressed people being preyed on by the operators. The best thing you could do for these people is turn the machines off, give a cup of tea and they might start talking to the person sitting next to them, I believe they used to have clubs like this in the old days, from memory I think they were called social clubs.
