Every day, vulnerable Australians are bombarded with gambling ads.
Targeted inducements and personalised promotions are designed to keep them betting, even when they're trying to stop.
Yet this Labor Government is failing to take the action needed to protect them.
Labor's new gambling laws are weak and riddled with loopholes. They fail to create a national gambling regulator, leave dangerous online advertising and inducements largely untouched, and rely on an opt-out model for streaming – instead of putting people in control with opt-in protections.
To tackle the harm of this insidious industry on our kids, we need to stop the gambling ads.
That's why the Greens are calling on the Federal Government to:
- Ban all TV, radio and online gambling advertising.
- End the grip of the gambling industry on politics by banning political donations from gambling and other destructive industries.
The Greens will keep fighting for reforms that protect people, not gambling company profits, and deliver the full intent of the Murphy Report.
