It is absolutely shameful that on a day when the government is trying to push through three dozen bills they are gagging debate on banning gambling advertising.
Why? Because they are gutless and, rather than genuinely progress something in the public interest, they want to push self-serving bills that makes for a tidy headline in preparation for an election. I have not seen a more egregious and shocking abandonment of the public interest than this government’s refusal to implement a ban on gambling advertising.
The Government does not care about the community interest, they don’t care about the harm gambling is causing our country, and they don’t care that the incessant gambling advertising is grooming our children into a lifetime of gambling harm.
