A senior New South Wales Liberal minister has spoken for the first time about how a powerful Australian gambling lobby group forced him out of the portfolio and has called for an investigation into its influence over government.

In an interview with Four Corners, Victor Dominello accused the club industry lobby group, ClubsNSW, of being "the equivalent of the gun lobby in the United States".
