Australia’s had two more years of gambling ad harm since the Murphy report. It’s time for Labor to show some courage | Zoe Daniel The public wants the ads banned but the government keeps bowing to pressure. Now, with its whopping majority, what’s the excuse?

“Our communities should not be saddled with gambling problems to keep media and multinational gambling companies profitable. Nor should fans be preyed on by sporting codes that get a commission from each bet. It is immoral” #endgamblingads www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Australians lose while our government fails to ban gambling ads The Albanese government has failed to respond to the Murphy Report on gambling for two years - while Australians lost more than $50 billion.

Tomorrow (28 June) is the 2nd anniversary of the Murphy Inquiry’s report into the harm caused by online gambling. Since then @AlboMP has done nothing about implementing its recommendations, which included banning gambling ads. #AusPol #EndGamblingAds www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

‘Do something about it before it gets worse’: young people want government action on gambling reform As gambling companies increasingly target young people, many are becoming frustrated by a lack of government action to protect them from gambling harms.

Albanese takes a tumble and Dutton gets himself in a twist Today on the campaign trail the leaders talked tough on Trump's tariff war, thousands of people enrolled to vote and the prime minister took a tumble.

“One of the real head-scratchers of the last term of parliament was why it was unable to legislate a ban against gambling advertising.”

Gambling losses are a ‘cost of living pressure’ the major parties don’t want you talking about.

Gambling companies threaten to ramp up betting promotions to counter AFL revenue grab Exclusive: Critics say inducements are harmful and urge a ban as recommended by Murphy inquiry

Live odds TV adverts cut before start of NRL and AFL seasons The segments are often presented by former players who spruik multi bets, for which the odds of winning are much slimmer.

PM speed-dated TV, sports bosses before U-turn on gambling ad ban In a 95-minute period on August 30, Anthony Albanese spoke with the country’s major sporting and TV bosses about his draft gambling ad policy.

Gambling reform on the backburner - ABC listen The federal parliament passed more than 30 bills before adjourning for the year but gambling reform was not among them.

Online gambling reform is on the back burner - for now. The festive season typically sees a spike in gambling and an alliance of gambling reform advocates want this summer holiday period to be the last to feature gambling advertisements. #EndGamblingAds #AusPol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

‘Don’t do it’: The man calling the shots on gambling reform The decision not to implement a ban on gambling advertising comes after intense lobbying and draws on a close relationship between the PM and Peter V’landys.

“I don’t think it would be a shock to anyone that V’landys told the PM ‘Don’t do it’ with regard to banning gambling ads. And, equally, it should be no surprise that Anthony has listened carefully to that advice.”

After watching the federal govt prevaricate for 18 months over responding to the Murphy Inquiry I've revisited this speech from Václav Havel 'On the Temptations of Political power'.

Labor takes a chance on gambling reform delay The Albanese government is under fire for failing to legislate a recommended ban on gambling advertisements.

“The legislation was in part to protect young people but Labor’s hesitancy on gambling reform now sits awkwardly against its rush to ban teens from social media”. It’s time to #EndGamblingAds www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
