Hon JAN TINETTI: Harm caused by pokies gambling contributes to the majority of referrals to gambling treatment providers. We know it's a major cause of second-hand gambling harm experienced by a gambler's whānau and friends. Data from the 2020 Health and Lifestyles Survey indicates that about 10 percent of New Zealanders use pokies. While some may consider pokies a form of recreational fun, for far too many Kiwis and their families they cause serious mental, financial, and social harms. We also know that gambling harm tends to adversely affect those who can least afford it and may already be experiencing social or financial challenges. That is why I'm taking action to ensure our legislation is fit for purpose and appropriate interventions are in place to reduce harm.
