The gambling industry is harming too many Australians and their communities, and the government is not taking action to protect them.
Australians lose billions of dollars on gambling each year and gambling advertising continues to plague sports games, television and the internet.
Gambling causes enormous harm to individuals, their families and communities.
Even our kids are exploited with a 13 year old today having never seen a game without gambling ads.
To tackle the harm of this insidious industry on our kids, we need to stop the gambling ads.
Yet, Labor and the Liberals continue to receive millions of dollars in political donations from the gambling industry.
The time for action is now.
The Greens are calling on the Government to:
- Urgently ban all gambling advertising across TV, radio and online.
- End the grip of the gambling industry on politics by banning political donations from gambling and other destructive industries.
Join us in calling on the Government to put people before profit and urgently act on gambling harm.
