    Anthony Albanese's government makes statements about social cohesion, public disaffection with the political system and domestic violence.

    And then when it comes to issues like old debt, gambling reform, Islamophobia, adequacy on Centrelink & Services Australia websites, a robust NACC, things which will improve things which they claim to care about, they sit on their hands.

    I really like Andrew Wilkie, lots of common sense.

    I think more independents getting elected would be a good thing.

  4. Labor's 'gambling reform' is a pathetic capitulation to the betting industry once again. After years of inquiry and the Murphy Report calling for a full advertising ban, they're delivering watered-down tweaks that still let gambling ads bombard kids and prey on the vulnerable.
    Greens, independents, and even the Coalition are calling this out as not good enough. Time to protect Australians from this predatory scourge instead of big gambling profits. Full ban now. No more half-measures.

  5. Time to ban gambling adds and lobby groups altogether among other measures to curb the social scourge it is.

    “Sportsbet has previously paid $110,000 for a platinum membership to Labor’s business forum, which provides it increased access to ministers including cabinet members. But it downgraded its membership to the $88,000 option last financial year, according to latest disclosures, which show it also donated $60,000 to the Liberals and $15,000 to the Nationals.”

  6. The Victorian Government is set to introduce major gambling reforms during the final sitting week of the year. These changes will cap poker machine deposits at $100 (down from $1,000) and implement Australia’s strongest anti-money laundering and gambling harm prevention measures. #GamblingReform #Victoria #PokerMachineReform #bravo

  7. @Susan60 It's interesting to see that the list includes two former prime ministers who didn't take action on gambling reforms during their time in office. The power of the Australian gambling lobby is so strong that no sitting prime minister dares to challenge them, yet they call for reforms once they've left office. #GamblingReform #Politics #Australia #LobbyingPower #ChangeNeeded #Auspol

  8. Instead of taking a strong stand to restrict gambling marketing, some sporting codes have continued to normalise the promotion of gambling products.

    Gambling and sporting bodies should play no part in decisions about keeping young people and the community safe from this predatory industry.
