The (Australian) Herald Sun: Automatic teller machines will be banned in slot machine venues in Victoria, Australia, beginning in 2012 in a war on problem gambling, Premier John Brumby has announced. Victoria will become the first Australian state to ban the ATMs from the floor of pokies venues. Cash machines will be banned from the end of 2012, when Victoria's existing gaming licensing arrangements end.
