Question in parliament: My question is for Minister Dalidakis, representing the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation. I thank the government for releasing the Crown Casino report to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) assessing responsible gaming player data as a result of the call for documents motion I moved earlier this year. It is my understanding that multigame multiplayer automated terminal devices have been approved for use at Crown and are being used. Can the minister confirm whether this is the case and how many such devices are in use at Crown?
Information from the annual report says that the VCGLR prepared a report on the likelihood of multigame multiplayer automated terminal games leading to increased gambling harm, using the Crown Casino data, in 2014–15. This is another document that I believe is of public importance and should be released. My question is: will the government also release this important document?
