The Government has finally introduced their gambling reform bill. It was sadly disappointing. Andrew moved a motion calling on the PM to personally explain to Australians why protecting gambling companies, media companies and the major sporting codes is more important to him and his government than protecting the interests, and lives, of Australians. You can watch his speech and read the motion below:
Motion moved after the Government introduced their gambling reform bill:
MEMBER: I move —
That the House:
- notes that this morning the Government introduced useless legislation which will do little to prevent gambling advertising and protect vulnerable Australians and children from gambling harm; and
- calls on the Prime Minister to personally explain to the House, and to all Australians, why protecting gambling companies, media companies and major sporting codes is more important to him and his government than protecting the interests, and lives, of Australians.
