Albanese is so full of shit, making out that restricting gambling advertising will somehow affect 'people who just want to have a punt on the weekend'.

Labor might boast about implementing the Betstop gambling exclusion program, but the policy was started when Turnbull was PM and would have gone live before the 2022 election except the company selected to run it went into receivership.
Labor has introduced zero policies to tackle gambling harm that weren't already in progress when they took office.

“Albo is trying to mollify the rank and file at the ALP conference with a feeble reform package that suits the gambling industry,” Chaney says, when asked about the sector’s conference attendance. “It’s like an addict telling a family intervention they will try to cut down, with their dealer right there in the room nodding along.”

Labor was, and is, a direct beneficiary of the gambling revenue they generated through Labor clubs. In those clubs, gambling losses literally go directly to the party. “Labor is, to my knowledge, the only political party in the democratic world to have such gambling interests.”

"The reality is that Albanese does not want to upset the profitable nexus between sport, gambling and television. He has been convinced that without gambling revenue, television would not survive, and without television licensing deals sporting codes would not be able to support children’s football.
"It’s a sorry world if an under-7s side is dependent on gambling addicts for its existence. Somehow, this is the world in which Albanese lives. It’s very unlikely this is true, but it sounds convincing in the box at State of Origin. If it were true, of course, the government could always step in and fund children’s sport. That would require strength and decisiveness and several other attributes that on this issue elude Albanese."

'If there's too much regulation, people will just move to unlicensed offshore betting'.
The gambling industry's response to Albanese's timid reform proposal is the classic drug dealer's defence and shows just how morally bankrupt they are.

Malinauskas telling people "to celebrate capital as well as labour" is everything you need to know about what the ALP has become.

If you believe gambling ads should be banned, now would be a very good time to email your local Labor MP (and/or Senators) to tell them that only a complete ban will be acceptable.

91% of people want some form of restriction on gambling ads, yet Labor is too scared to do anything.

Albanese talked today about 'tackling problem gambling'. This language shows that he's only listening to the gambling lobby, with their relentless focus on individual responsibility, a strategy designed to avoid talking about their insidious, parasitic business model.

Apparently we need to urgently protect our kids from social media but continuing to expose them to gambling advertising is fine.
So much for evidence-based policy then

Urgh, Albanese's bought into the drug dealer's defence - 'if we ban gambling ads people will use offshore gambling sites'.
Pathetic.
Ban the ads. All of them. Now.

Bill Shorten is angrier at the Libs for delaying his raiding of #NDIS for rich people tax cuts, than he is at his leader for refusing increase JobSeeker
