## Resource

Sydney’s Labor mayor Darcy Byrne is sounding the alarm on poker machine laws, calling the momentum for reform “unstoppable” and urging NSW Labor to act before it’s too late. With gambling profits rising despite years of inaction, Byrne argues the public has “had a gutful” and demands real change to curb the harm caused by these machines — positioning this as a critical moment for the party to respond to mounting pressure and societal cost.
