Pawnbrokers and second-hand jewellers receive backlash over buying gold products in licensed venues that have poker machines.
Mr Perelman said he would rethink the kinds of venues he used for the mobile side of his business, now that the issue had been"brought to [his] attention"."[Gambling venues] represent such a small number, that I would say they are 4 per cent, or 6 per cent of my venues.
"[The rest] are service clubs, town halls, non-profit-making [venues], who rely on people like me to hire their halls. "We only use pubs where we can't get into a hall. And remember, we get a separate room in a pub — separate from the knowing of the gambler."A gold-buying event had been planned for the Alberton Hotel on Monday, but the event was cancelled at the last minute after Mr Perelman received a call from the Australian Hotels Association.
Mr Boyer said he would introduce a bill to Parliament in the next sitting week, to create penalties for licensed gaming venues that allowed second-hand dealers to operate on their site, and for trading businesses who sought to use a licensed venue for buying and selling. But Attorney-General Vickie Chapman said new legislation was unnecessary, as any change could be achieved through the industry's Code of Conduct.
