I asked the Prime Minister to allow Labor MPs a free vote on banning gambling advertising. His response? The same old guff to sidestep the uncomfortable reality that he’s the one holding this reform back #auspol #politas

A 1.4% levy on the gambling industry could compensate the media for ALL revenue lost from a potential gambling advertising ban.

Australians lose more money gambling than any other country. It's time for our government to act.

Even former gambling execs are calling for action on gambling ads.

Good to hear the Minister is restarting talks on reform, but what’s needed is courage from the PM to take on vested interests & pursue a complete ban on ads - just as the Murphy Review recommended.

RIP Peta Murphy, we are now at the stage where political parties simply do not care about the harm caused to following generations, or what harm is caused to their constituents by donating Corporations. We really are in deep shit.

Next month we'll hit 1000 days since the Murphy Report into gambling harm was handed down.

More than 3 in 4 Australians want stronger gambling advertising laws, but the Govt continues to stall. Politicians from both major parties continue to accept donations, gifts & perks from gambling companies.

Yes, the SA Premier was the first politician to call for a social media ban in May last year following his wife reading Haidt's book.

Murdoch papers & Wippa & Co's campaigns kicked off around the same time.

There was significant political momentum as Dutton made it an election promise ...
Australian social media ban started with call to act by politician's wife
World leaders have agonised over how to curb social media's addictive pull on young minds.
