This is the best summary I could come up with:
Queensland's LNP opposition has promised to allow clubs with more than two premises to operate hundreds more poker machines if it wins the next state election.
Shadow Attorney-General Tim Nicholls described the LNP's proposal as a "commonsense plan" that would throw a lifeline to small community-owned clubs.
"The Queensland government has committed to a club compact, but also has to take into account the needs of the entire sector while ensuring gambling harm minimisation initiatives."
"Fundamentally across the state, there is only a finite number of club venues that will have a requirement to go to the incremental cap of 700 gaming machines," he said.
Alliance for Gambling Reform interim chief executive Martin Thomas said his organisation was opposed to the proposal to increase the cap on gaming machines at clubs with multiple sites.
Mr Thomas said the Alliance for Gambling Reform wanted state governments to introduce a mandatory cashless card with pre-commitments for poker machine users.
