Harm prevention and minimisation, enforcement, and other matters - Minimum standards for gambling equipment

328: Secretary must give notice of minimum standard

You could also call this:

"The government must inform the public about the basic rules for certain gambling machines."

The Secretary has to tell people about the minimum standard for some gambling equipment. You can find this notice in the Gazette. The notice says what the standard is, which equipment it applies to, and when it starts. It also tells you how to get a copy of the standard. If there is no standard for some equipment, you can ask the Secretary to make one. The Secretary will let you know how to get the standard, or any changes to it, so you can follow the rules.
