Cocaine And Sex Work Seek To Distance Themselves From Australia's Degenerate Sportsbetting Industry

A couple of notable Australian economic sectors have today made a strong statement.

In a joint release from the peak Cocaine and Sex Work Industry bodies, the two groups have sought to distance themselves from Australia's 'poisonous' sportsbetting industry.

"As the oldest industry in the world, we would like to condemn the behaviour of the modern and very Australian industry of predatory online gambling that is geared to fleece as much money out of addicts and their families, businesses and community footy clubs," said a spokesperson for the sex workers of Australia.

"Yeah, and it might not be a government body, but at least we have some regulators," said a spokesperson for the other blow body.

This comes after a damning couple of days at the inquiry into Australian sportsbetting, and a long couple of years of anti-gambling advocates presenting horror story after horror story about the effects of online sportsbetting.

Amongst other things, former Canberra raider and soon to be author Luke Bateman revealed that in the depths of a gambling addiction that nearly cost him everything - sportsbetting companies were offering bags and sex workers to keep the good times rolling.

Of course other things like flights, events, VIP treatment and grog were frequently offered for the 'whales' like Luke.

The revelations follow months and years of the current government trying to bury the Murphy report into the sports betting, and push through laws that some say are potentially even weaker than the current regulations in place.

While the scourge of sportsbetting continues to wreak havoc on the lives of young Aussies growing up in an environment, both the bag and skin industries are keen to get a bit of seperation.

"Look we understand that there is a fair bit of overlap at times, but the sportsbetting industry need to clean their shit up if they want us to get back in bed with them, pardon the pun," said the above statement.

More to come.
