The federal government has actually denied [Labour declares](https://kiigasofthub.com/read-blog/10136_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) that MPs had actually been led to believe the cut would enter into force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019.

+
"In addition, two people will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, for that reason as much as any other, I believe this delay is unjustifiable."
+
She added: "It is a fact of federal government that ministers should follow collective responsibility and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made versus your wishes connecting to your own portfolio."
+
'God bless'
