Speaker I rise to support the amendment moved by the Member for Curtin, without much enthusiasm; because it shouldn’t be necessary.
Three years ago this parliament received the Murphy Report, “You Win Some, You Lose More“, a landmark, thorough, evidence-based inquiry, unanimous across Labor, Liberal and crossbench members, recommending a complete, phased-in ban on gambling advertising.
And what’s the Government done with it? Buried it, diluted it, and dressed up the leftovers as “the strongest reforms this country has ever seen.” Let’s be clear Speaker, these reforms will do little to fix the problem.
