WHEN is someone in State Parliament going to “WAKE UP”and let these clubs trade as Licenced Premises exactly as they do in QLD and pay for themselves and be self sufficient !!!! Then there would be no need for government grants and handouts or are ALL of the NSW Parliamentarians in the pockets of the AHA ????
