Pokies at church?

I just got my annual letter from Ashfield Council pointing me to the local clubs (Wests, Club Ashfield, Ashfield RSL and Wests Sports) for their community grants. In the letter it says, "the proposal must demonstrate how their project will benefit residents of the Ashfield Community including low income earners, carers, young people and isolated groups."

Like usual we will not be putting in a request for this money won by gambling but maybe the best proposal to help these groups would be to reduce or eliminate the pokies where the money came from in the first place. This might be the best way to care for the low income earners, young people and isolated groups. I think it is a bit of a no brainer myself.
