From today five million Australians will find an additional $750 in their bank account to help them financially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of the government's Economic Support Payment (ESP), the second round of $750 payments will rollout from today with most having been paid by July 15.
The second ESP is an additional payment to those living in Australia and holding an eligible payment or concession card on July 10, 2020.

How would you know this, unless you are an on-line gambler ?
And who are you to decide how people spend their money?

Speaking with Today, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the second round of payments will cost around $4 billion."People are going to use the money as they see fit. That's how it should be.......
I believe rogespeed is just speaking, knowing that folks gamble on line. That's all. I've never gambled on line but I know of people that do.
And rogespeed is just pointing out that it should be stopped rather than deciding who does and who doesn't. Remember too that many online gambling joints are off shore so the proceeds don't go back into the Australian economy. So what rogespeed says does make good sense.

Why should it be stopped.
Not all are irresponsible.

Well, I believe that people should be free to make their own decisions. But I did agree that rogespeed made a very good point that's all. In actuality, I'd rather see people recieve the money with instructions to not spend it on online gambling. They can make a poor choice if they want to.
BTW: Some online gambling venues don't always pay out and people have had issues with trying to get their money. They are also rigged to the mmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That's a rather presumptuous, but one sided reply on behalf of rogespeed. However, I am more interested in his reply, should it occur!

the shame, as in better if not , relates to money flowing out of Australia from losses rather than the actual gambling, With the influx of money reduced somewhat , money flowing out from private sources becomes a greater issue, during contagion times be better if spent locally
In normal times I would not care less about gambling , online or otherwise , is legal and participants choice
As for me yes , i gamble but not with money and the winnings benefit others, not me
