The story begins with the toppling of a premier, and ends with
David Walsh, the man behind MONA, taking an eccentric stand against
pokie machines and the political status quo. It is a story of
broken politics and back-room deals. It shows how giving one
company the licence to all the poker machines in Tasmania has led
to several hundred million dollars of profits (mainly from problem
gamblers) being diverted from public use, through a series of
questionable and poorly understood deals. Losing Streak is a
meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has
implications for pokies reform throughout Australia.
