3. I think betting and payout limits makes more sense, and would be easier to implement.

Wilkie has indicated that he's amenable to this, and the Greens would also support it.

Britain has limits on the amounts people can put in, and also on winnings, and they don't have anything like our gambling problems.

Gillard has been spooked by the fury of the registered clubs, but the real problem is, I think, that she's not really committed to taking action. Climate change legislation and the mining tax were Greens' initiatives, and the stimulus that kept us out of the worst of the recession was Rudd's. Gillard has no vision, no ideals at all; she has no commitment to anything except holding on to power.
