It shows how giving one company the licence to all the poker machines in Tasmania has led to several hundred million dollars of profits (mainly from problem gamblers) being diverted from public use, through a series of questionable and poorly understood deals.Losing Streak is a meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has implications for pokies reform throughout Australia.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
