Somehow I don't think this is over! <<Australia's Senate Passes Internet Gambling Bill Fri June 29 2001 The Australian Senate last night passed the controversial Interactive Gambling Bill 2001 proposed by the federal government. The legislation bans Australian online casino companies from offering gambling services at home and abroad and makes it unlawful for illegal gambling sites to enforce gambling debts in Australia. The law still allows Australian companies to offer Internet betting on sports, horse races, and the lottery. Communications Minister Richard Alston defends the decision to ban only online casino gambling: "It's mindless, it's repetitive... It's a sure recipe for losing a lot of money very quickly, and that's really what comes through in this legislation... In other words, we've dealt with the worst excesses of the new technology and I think we've taken a stand that overwhelmingly the Australian people wanted us to take." The Northern Territory government is considering launching a legal challenge against the new legislation on the grounds that it is unconstitutional. NT Chief Minister Denis Burke is seeking legal advice on the issue. ABC News (Australia) has the story.>>
