Baillieu backs away from pokies reform

 
 Premier Ted Baillieu has backed away from his pre-election policy to introduce voluntary pre-commitment technology to poker machines across Victoria by 2013.
 
Panorama spoke to ex-pokies addict Tom Cummings, and asked him what he believes could have helped him end his addiction earlier.
 
We also had a live conversation with Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision and anti-pokies campaigner.
