My young family and I have called Avondale our home for over 5 years now and we very much hope to grow roots and contribute to the area and community.
I, like a lot of people moving into the area, was somewhat unaware of all that The Trusts control in regards to alcohol sales and consumption, the criteria they require to hold a license, and the relationship between their taverns and the gaming machines; when we moved here. I also thought they were more benevolent than, upon inspection, they actually appear to be.
I strongly feel that The Trusts monopoly model as it stands, does West Auckland a disservice and I would welcome the opportunity to hold The Trusts to account.
As part of the Trusts Action Group, I advocate for change, fairer prices, more choice, fewer pokies, and more transparency into The Trusts and where their profits go.
