Petition-Out of order
ACT Housing-Transfer of family-Mr Quinlan (502 residents).MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (3.33): I present the following papers:
Interactive gambling-Report prepared by the Gambling and Racing Commission pursuant to a resolution of the Assembly of 24 May 2000, dated June 2000, together with a copy of a forwarding letter from the Chairman of the Gambling and Racing Commission to Mr Gary Humphries MLA, Treasurer, dated 26 June 2000.
I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the papers.
This report, which is not long, indicates that the commission has reviewed the online gambling legislation that the Assembly passed, I think, in 1998. The commission has looked at the efficacy of the legislation and the framework it provides for regulating this emerging area of activity. It has also reviewed the resourcing it has at its disposal to meet the requirements of properly overviewing this activity of gambling in the ACT.
The report is brief because the commission essentially has determined in this review that the present framework is adequate for the purposes of providing licensing of Internet gambling in the ACT. It says there are a number of emerging issues with respect to the legislation which will best be addressed as licences are issued and as further experience of the operation of such a regime is obtained.
