He was annoyed clubs would be exempt from the proposed law change, enabling people who could afford to pay to join them to smoke. The Government has confirmed sports clubs and organisations such as the Returned Services Association would not be covered by the new law.

Private clubs require registration to enter.
Cafes and bars are open to the public. Mr Jackson today criticised the distinction. That's a little bit elitist if you ask me.
