00:00This is the next trance of our reforms. There's a whole range of other
00:04discussions that affect gambling in New South Wales which is being affected
00:09nationally a whole. So that's part of that wider conversation. We are looking
00:13at a whole range of issues but we have to understand that a lot of these things
00:18are sequential. This has taken 30 years to bring us, or 33 years, to bring us to
00:24this point. We've been in government for one term and we bring in a whole range
00:29of reforms, major reforms, biggest reforms ever in the state and I would argue the
00:35biggest reforms nationally and we have to be sensible about how we do that. The
00:40tax issue is absolutely on the agenda and we're in discussions with the Treasurer
00:45about what that might look like in the context of not just the gaming industry
00:50but gambling tax in New South Wales in general. Yeah so the system at the
00:55moment and as I said it's still working through the final design phase and as
01:00it's already operating in some venues is that the cameras are at the entry to the
01:05gaming room so the idea is if the person enters that triggers the alarm if you like
01:11that and then and then there's a reaction from the staff to ask them to leave.
