NSW 2021 Ryde Council Elections

I fully support all the policies and advocacy actions referred to in your Candidate Information Resources. My commitments in relation to council poker machine policies: "Identify Gambling Harm as an issue in
City of Ryde's Community Strategic Plan
Create a Gambling Harm Minimisation
Policy
Use Planning and Enforcement
mechanisms
Advocate for reform at State and Federal
levels"

I principally support the Alliance for Gambling Reform's recommended local government policies and advocacy actions. It's about taking sensible and pragmatic steps to address the community harm caused by gambling.

I always opposed extending operation hours of gambling venues in Ryde LGA. If in my power I will not allow any gambling venues in Ryde LGA. Our council does not have any strong policy on gambling. I will work hard with the help of advocating associations to formulate stronger policies.

1. Support gambling-free public space. 2. Back gambling-free community sport. 3. Stop the expansion of gambling in our suburbs & towns

I believe in gambling damages families and would like to see myself in council to support policies that have stricter policies on gambling machines and identifying vulnerable individuals that are impacted by gambling.

I believe that Ryde Council should do more to pressure local venues to transition away from poker machines.
