Alex Greenwich is adamant the state will have cashless gaming regardless of which party wins and, as the likely kingmaker in the event of a hung parliament, he could be right.
Mr Greenwich is supportive of the Coalition's policy, but is critical of the opposition's approach.
It is a significant declaration, ahead of a tight election contest that could result in a hung parliament. Legislation to decriminalise abortion and to legalise voluntary assisted dying passed the last parliament after conscience votes."We've always been putting forward the more difficult decisions for the major parties and succeeding."
The trio guaranteed supply in exchange for parliamentary reforms, including the introduction of fixed terms, changes to electoral funding and increased powers for the ombudsman and auditor-general. Mr Piper is currently the longest-serving independent MP in the state and holds his seat — near Newcastle — with a margin of 23 per cent.He says he believes an independent's role is working across the aisles and ensuring stability of government.
