Carbon compensation and pokies

During the last budget debate the Opposition claimed that the Government shouldn't be paying the school kids bonus because parents would waste it on pokies. Well reports have come in that poker machine revenue in Queensland was up in May and June and some have linked this to Government handouts (school kids bonus, carbon pricing compensation). Bernard Keane demolishes these links in Carbon compo being fed into pokies? Nothing but a beat-up.
