THE campaigners fighting to stop mandatory pre-commitment on the money that people put through poker machines have changed their focus.

It's Un-Australian campaigners have used Richmond MP Justine Elliot's image in their latest push to put pressure on her to support clubs in their fight against the mandatory pre-commitment.

The billboard advertising on Kennedy Dr has an image of the MP with the message "Justine, why are you voting to hurt out community?"

The mandatory pre-commitment was put forward by independent MP Andrew Wilkie and it has the support of the government.

Ms Elliot said she supported the pre-commitment technology to help stop problem gambling.

"I totally understand their issues and concerns," Ms Elliot said.

"I have a pretty thick skin. I was in the police force."

Ms Elliot said she has talked to the clubs in her electorate and has taken their concerns to Canberra.

It's Un-Australian organisers were not available for comment on Monday.
