Prominent Sydney youth worker Father Chris Riley says a frustration with "random" politics convinced him to join Clubs Australia's fight against the federal government's proposed pokie reforms.

The founder of Youth Off The Streets this morning defended his support of Clubs Australia, saying independent MP Andrew Wilkie shouldn't have the power to force the government into the changes.

The policy was a demand by the independent Mr Wilkie in return for his support of the Labor minority government.
