They're in on the giggle themselves.
Catholic Church even owns pokies venues.
It's just so entrenched.
It's very, very difficult to wind back 200,000 poker machines in 5,000 venues all over the country bar WA, which never introduced them to their benefit.
That's my final rant for the day.
I'll let you choose the last question, boss, because we're almost out of time.
Lynette, I think it was, or we had one that made a really good point, is that those working in the charitable sector, there's a $15,900 FBT benefit that was introduced â
25 years ago to make it more competitive for charities and not-for-profits to hire workers.
So you're able to hire them and you get this $15,900 benefit on your FBT and that hasn't been indexed for more than 20 years.
That's the criticism.
So it should be $30,000 now.
And I guess my thought is, look, it's a fair point.
It hasn't been indexed.
But given that charities don't pay corporate tax either, there's also a question of competition and how level the playing field should be.
And the charities already have it pretty good.
as in they can offer workers, you know, this $15,900 FBT benefit and then they don't pay taxes.
So, I don't know.
But look, it's a fast-growing sector.
