Responding to reports that the Albanese Government are shying away from strong gambling reform, Greens spokesperson for communications Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said:
 
“Nothing less than a plan to eliminate all broadcast and online gambling advertising is good enough. 
 
“The Labor Government is once again showing it will do more for the gambling giants and Murdoch Media than sports fans.
 
“It is only the corporate giants profiting off human suffering from the insidious gambling industry that support gambling ads. The same profits that get funnelled into the Labor Party through political donations.
 
“Is it any wonder Labor is soft on reforms when the Communications Minister dines out with Sportsbet? How many more lives will be wrecked for the sake of more dirty dinners and donations? 
 
“The Australian public wants an end to gambling ads. They want to enjoy watching television or scrolling online without being bombarded with betting odds. 
 
“Come on, Labor, do it for the kids. 
 
“The Greens are ready to vote for a complete ban when Parliament returns.”
