The ACT Greens want gambling advertisements banned at Canberra Stadium to limit an industry that "has successfully brainwashed our kids", and have offered to begin fresh negotiations with Labor on reducing gambling harm.
Rebecca Vassarotti, the party's gambling harm spokeswoman, said strict restrictions should also be introduced to block online gambling advertisements from being displayed in Canberra during major sports fixtures in the ACT and the territory government should work harder to push for more restrictive national advertising rules.
"By relentlessly inundating 12-to-17-year-olds with constant betting promotions during family-friendly match times, the gambling industry has successfully brainwashed our kids, and as a parent, I know our community has had enough," Ms Vassarotti said.
