brief_description
How one company came to own every poker machine in the state of Tasmania – and the cost to democracy, the public purse and problem gamblers and their families. The story begins with the toppling of a premier, and ends with David Walsh, the man behind MONA, taking an eccentric stand against pokie machines and the political status quo. Losing Streak is a meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has implications for pokies reform throughout Australia. -- blurb.
