About this campaign

worldbestpractice.org is a pro-family suicide prevention Christian ministry founded by Richard Garnaut of Cairns, and is celebrating it's 20th Birthday during 2013.

pokiequit.org has been created as part of these 20th Birthday celebrations.

Special thanks to:

  • ministry clients

  • present & former staff of FNQ pokie pubs, clubs & Reef Casino (who don't wish to be personally recognised) for sharing their own personal negative workplace experiences with those who should not play pokies

  • staff of Bunnings & associates of Masters for their technical assistance

  • numerous Christian ministers from different denominations

  • various community leaders

Without your support, encouragement & prayers, the “Put family before pokies this Christmas Campaign” would not have been possible.

By Christmas 2013, it is hoped to have the full cooperation and support of every pokie venue in FNQ (at least), the media, all schools, shopping centres & church / community groups for this campaign including:

  • included in all advertising

  • slogans on T-Shirts in venues

  • messages flashing up on pokie screens

  • bar coasters

  • large 6 metre banners at entrances to venues

  • celebrity support

  • etc

All kick-started by one stencil and a couple of cans of paint. (Now able to produce 140+ banners per day as well as up-market professional banners)

Thankyou for your support.

May God Bless You, enrich you, and help you to have a Happy Christmas, and a prosperous New Year in 2013.

Richard Garnaut of Cairns
