    DescriptionInterview with Monash University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Senior Lecturer Doctor Charles Livingstone. Cochrane mentions Lottoland sponsored the Mitchell Street Million Dollar Mile last weekend. She says Federal Minister for Communications Mitch Fifield wrote to Chief Minister Michael Gunner, demanding to explain why the Northern Territory Government decided to grant Lottoland a licence. She adds One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson and Senator Nick Xenophon are also demanding for Lottoland to be banned from operating right around Australia. She says Livingstone is a gambling expert. Cochrane and Livingstone discuss Lottoland. Livingstone says Lottoland offers bets on the results of lotteries in Australia and around the world. He adds Lottoland is registered in Gibraltar. Cochrane and Livingstone tackle claims by Australian politicians, suggesting Lottoland is killing off family-owned news agencies. Livingstone mentions the lottery business in Australia is worth around $2b a year. He utters the Northern Territory Government imposes the lowest rates of gambling tax in Australia. Cochrane cites an interview with a Lottoland spokesperson on ABC Alice Springs this morning.
