The deal the prime minister has cut with the Coalition on gambling will be a huge disappointment(失望) to people across Australia.
总理与联盟党就赌博问题达成的协议,将令全澳大利亚人民大失所望。
This legislation was about more than just(不仅仅是) gambling reform. It was a test of whether our parliament listens to the people over vested interests(既得利益集团), and the clear answer to that is no. It also raises(提出,引起) serious questions about our major party system.
这项立法不仅仅关乎赌博改革。它是对我们的议会是否倾听人民而非既得利益的一次考验,而明确的答案是否定的。它还引发了关于我们主要政党体制的严重质疑。
The prime minister had an opportunity to leave a legacy(遗产,政治遗产) and change our country for the better(向好的方向), and he has instead chosen a path pushed by the gambling industry. Communities rightly feel sold out(被出卖,背叛) to a predatory(掠夺性的) industry that profits from people’s pain.
总理本有机会留下政治遗产,让我们的国家变得更好,但他却选择了赌博行业推动的道路。社区民众理所当然地感到被出卖给了一个从人们痛苦中获利的掠夺性行业。
