curious Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Sound off but had a quick scan through to see if there was anyone interesting on. Thought I saw Guerin look like he was apologising about it before he asked the Minister a question. Couldn't think of anything the Minister could add to current topical knowledge anyway. What on earth would he bother asking him about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turny Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Interesting comments from the Minister. Cutting thru it, seems clear Geo Blocking is a couple of years away at least, if achievable at all. No home run here. One of the more likely options is a 100% sale which would deliver a better betting platform. Reality is the *urgent* investigation into fuel prices was instigated 18 months ago and still no outcome. Surely is a slow process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware it's only at the point of the Minister mulling over whether or not he has a case to present to cabinet for writing a bill and that has plenty of hurdles to even get that far by the time he considers issues such as Fair Trade, harm, equity for punters, public perception, loss of GST revenue etc. Can't see that progressing under the current government so hardly a hot issue at this point.

Note at 34.50 McAnulty does say that a Minister could just change regulations if it does not require legislative change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turny Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) He didn't sound very convincing on making change any time soon and put up a number of hurdles to jump. Storm in a teacup stuff, just won't happen but they may engineer a sale then the problem gone no need for future bailouts Edited November 28, 2022 by Turny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
