Gaming spokeswoman Andrea Dawkins said on Wednesday the party believed the policy had formulated to serve the vested interests of donors.

Ms Dawkins, however, could not point to any semblance of illegality about any donations or breaches with donation laws.

She said although the extent of donations would not be revealed until next year. she said it was clear there was a close association with the party and pro-pokies lobbyists.

Ms Dawkins said Tasmanians needed to know sooner rather than later how much had been donated to the government and by whom.

A state government spokesman said the Greens were only interested in having their preferred side participate in the democratic process.

“Our policies are not for sale,” he said.

The Greens have pledged to rip out poker machines from pubs and clubs, as has Labor but their policy is to support removal with a $55 million compensation scheme.

The Liberals have decided to cap poker machines outside casinos and open up the monopoly licensing arrangement with Federal Group to a venue-operator model.

Anglicare Tasmania has revealed a new advertising campaign backing the removal of poker machines, to be broadcast on television, radio and social media.

Anglicare’s Social Action and Research Centre manager Meg Webb said the campaign was aimed at “sharing the facts”.

“We are at a crucial point in time where people can choose to limit the damage caused by these machines, or go down the path of creating more powerful vested interests and higher levels of harm,” she said. 

“We were funded by this work from a range of community supporters, who care very deeply about this issue.”

Ms Webb described the campaign as “modest” compared to highly visible pro-pokie campaign.
