For our Patron members, i spoke to Mike on the weekend regarding this resolution. Podcast will be out later tonight @lunchtimecatchup.bsky.social
mikeread.bsky.social Mike Read @mikeread.bsky.social · Nov 17
Before the end of next week Essendon will send members a notice of their AGM, including this resolution and statement by nope.org.au and backed by over 100 EFC members.

The resolution would make the club to recognise the harm caused by pokies and their contribution to that harm, as a venue operator
screenshot of a formal resolution, black text on white it reads: “That for the purposes of section 136(1)(b) and 136(2) of the Corporations Act: That the Constitution of the Essendon Football Club is altered so that, after Clause 31, the following is inserted: ‘31A. Gambling Regulation Act (1) If the Club holds a venue operator’s licence under the Gambling Regulation Act at any time during a particular year, then the Directors’ report for that financial year published by the Club relating to that year (whether in whole or in part) shall include a statement that acknowledges: (a) that Electronic Gaming Machines cause social harm; and (b) that the Club, as the holder of a venue operator’s licence, is contributing to that harm. (2) This clause 31A applies subject to the Corporations Act and other relevant laws and otherwise notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution.’” screenshot of members statement reading, in part: Since 2006, over $235 million has been lost on EGMs at the two venues run by Essendon Football Club, the Windy Hill Venue in Essendon and the Melton Country Club. Revenue made by Essendon Football Club from player losses comes with risk of social harm. EGMs are addictive by design and a leading cause of problem gambling in Australia. Harms from EGMs and problem gambling are wide ranging At least 184 suicides in Victoria were directly related to problem gambling between 2009-2016, and a further 17 suicides occurred among ‘affected others’ An average of six others (e.g., partners, children) are negatively impacted for each problem gambler in Australia An up to 30% increase in domestic violence assaults in postcodes with a high density of EGMs Part (a) of the proposed change will make Essendon Football Club publicly acknowledge this harm occurs. Part (b) of the proposed change will make Essendon Football Club publicly acknowledge their potential contribution to harms caused by EGMs and problem gambling. The Victorian Gaming & Casino Control Commission’s 2023 Position on Gambling Harm asserts that operators of EGMs “alone choose to provide gambling services which cause harm.” As such, it is important for the Essendon Football Club to acknowledge their role in contributing to these harms. We understand non-football income streams are vital to football clubs and this acknowledgement would not obligate the Essendon Football Club to stop earning revenue from EGMs. Instead, it ensures that the Club’s ongoing decision to operate EGMs is made with full awareness, and ownership, of the potential harms. By first recognising the harm that EGMs cause, and then recognising that the decision to contribute to that harm is the club’s choice alone, we hope that these proposed changes will empower the club to act to find a path away from pokies. We recommend, and hope, that you will vote in favour of this resolution.
