Is the Mayor trying to compare gambling to the act of going to a pub to buy food and drink? Is this at all related to the fact that the ILT has a monopoly on the act of operating those venues whereby a person would perform said eating and drinking? Could this protection of the ILT’s interests be at all related to Clark’s behind-the-scenes relationship with the ILT, namely the unauthorised offer of employment within the ILT to the stadium worker who raised a sexual harassment case against a city councillor? And most curious of all, Clark’s dismissing of problem gambling comes just a day after he acknowledged that homelessness was such a problem in Invercargill that the council should purchase houses for emergency accommodation. Seems like Nobby is quite happy to continue to deal with the effects of problem gambling, but hesitant to actually deal with the root cause. I wonder why?
Knobby has learnt the lesson of making noise as often and as loud as possible. Especially if it gives him a chance to extol his amazing past in the many fields he has been employed in. From industrial relations to gambling addictions. Lets hope he sees the light and gets down to the Awarua space station to show them what an amazing astronaut he once was when they fire off their first test rocket.
