We’ve got a question on gambling advertising

Yes or no, will the federal government finally ban gambling ads, as was recommended by a parliamentary committee chaired by the late Peta Murphy and last year’s “rapid review” into measures to prevent violence against women?

Albanese’s response?

We don’t make policy on the run.

When reminded of the two reviews and asked what’s stopping the government from acting on the recommendations, Albanese said:

What’s in our mind is the practicalities of whether people just go offshore, then there’s no revenue at all. They engage in gambling with no revenue coming back at all. And it doesn’t solve the problem.
