(Some of you might agree with this, but I don't) Another day in nanny state Australia: NSW bans external advertising of gaming lounges/"VIP rooms", from all pubs and clubs. Except for casinos, of course. Because they're "too big to fail" (i.e. they pay bribes). Law comes in tomorrow. (archive.is)

Personally, I'm not a fan of states destroying industries (or, in this case, dealing them a death blow, after years of "lockouts", followed by "lockdowns" and all that bullshit), or making nanny state decisions like this one.

But I love that the average Labor voter thinks that banning dragons and coins from external signage will somehow help "those problem gamblers over there". Never them. Always the people they look down on.

Has any of them ever owned or managed a pub? Lol, are you fucking kidding?

Anyway, it's essentially this: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/smoking-and-tobacco/tobacco-control/plain-packaging

"Plain packaging" for pubs, if you will.

Which I am not really a fan of, either. But some here may disagree.

Anyway, fuck this country. I'm so fucking sick of the state just randomly up and "deciding" shit like this. But hey. That's definitely not unique to Aus, of course.
