(Australia).-The Greens will introduce their Ban Gambling Ads Bill to the Senate. The Bill will ban gambling ads on TV, radio, print and online consistent with the multi-party parliamentary inquiry recommendations.
Today the Greens will introduce their Ban Gambling Ads Bill to the Senate. The Bill will ban gambling ads on TV, radio, print and online consistent with the multi-party parliamentary inquiry advices.
With 7 in 10 Australians backing a gambling ad ban, public pressure is building for the Albanese Government to deliver on the 'You Win Some, You Lose Most' Peta Murphy Inquiry recommendations.
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young is Greens Spokesperson for Communications:
“Time is up and the public are sick of the excuses and the delays. The Government clearly doesn't have the guts to stand up to the bookies and ban gambling ads so, today, the Greens will.
“Our Ban Gambling Ads Bill will ban gambling ads across the board on TV, radio, online & in print consistent with the multi-party committee recommendations, chaired by the late Peta Murphy MP.
“Problem gambling ruins lives and Australians lose more per capita to gambling than anywhere else in the world. The evidence from experts and the overwhelming majority of Australians (7/10) is clear: gambling ads cause significant harm and they must be banned, just like tobacco ads.
“The Prime Minister said recently that banning gambling ads was the ‘easy option’ to reduce gambling harm. We agree and we call on Labor and Liberal to back our bill.
“These ads are crucial to the bookies’ business model as they fuel the human misery of problem gambling. People are sick of having gambling ads rammed down their throats during family time when we are watching the footy.
“Labor and Liberal will have to stop hedging their bets when my bill comes for a vote in the Senate.”
