Jockey Club 3T TVC

Should the Jockey Club be allowed to advertise ? I guess most of us would say no. Promoting gambling is not really a good thing. True that allowing it to advertise would help fight against illegal gambling. Also true that the Jockey Club is a non-profit making organization as its profits are for charities. However, being a non-profit making organization doesn't mean that it won't act like other commercial organizations. It still has sales and profit targets to achieve in order to finance the operations of the whole organization and its executives get paid to achieve the targets. What would you do if you were these high-pay executives ? Lobbying the government. The government also has gambling taxes at stake too. This is how what we call government relations has got into the play.
