It’s thoroughlly disheartening to see a #Labor #PM mouth off #FossilFuelLobby #TalkingPoints as if he doesn’t have a brain capable of thinking for himself.AND
If I am wrong, then what is so hard for #AlboPM to explain his position and the critical thinking he applied to arrive there?
IMO
The fact that he hasn’t told Australians what is on his mind is all the answers I need. The #PM is a fool and a traitor to #LaborValues.
The #Greens have my vote from now on.

“We’re seeing this incrementalism in so many parts of how this government is approaching difficult issues and I think the community is sick of it. You can’t always be about compromise.”

"A full ban, according to the AGRC’s report which has not been released, would decrease yearly public spending on gambling by $109.5m – or 1.4%."
So, Labor is saying that reducing gambling revenue by 1.4% is too large a burden on the industry. Such brave, human-centred public policy.

"All the evidence from public health experts like Prof Samantha Thomas at Deakin University, to the government’s own regulator, the ACMA, shows that partial bans do not work."

"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.
-
So the poor gambling companies will only be able to run ads once EVERY 20 MINUTES in prime time.
How can they possibly survive?
-
Daily reminder of just how pathetic a leader Anthony Albanese is.

Pocock: the Albanese Government has failed Australians
-
Malinauskas telling people "to celebrate capital as well as labour" is everything you need to know about what the ALP has become.
-
"Research suggests 80 per cent of Australian 10-year-olds know the odds and the logos of sports betting companies. Hundreds of thousands of these kids are now illegally gambling underage themselves.
"One report says 600,000 children – 30 per cent of 12- to 17-year-olds – are spending almost $20 million on gambling."

Political donations are effective.
-
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.
-
CW: better things aren’t possible
-
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.

These are the organisations that LaborBrain™ believes we need to prop up at the expense of the wellbeing of thousands of Australians vulnerable to the predations of the gambling industry
