I like First Dog's idea of #gambling company board members losing their house.
But can we extend that to the politicians who take their donations, and put up pissweak tokenistic non-reforms and say that it "strikes the right balance"? 🙄🤪🤯

"a Sportsbet spokesperson said the company had no evidence whatsoever of the allegations made during the inquiry."
Interesting form of words. Not exactly denying the practice of inducements. #gambling #auspol

The story here is not so much that some Labor MPs are going harder on #gambling reforms,
but that they are doing so publicly.
Hopefully, more will show spine, and the "discipline" that Albanese imposes on caucus [aka coercive control] will crumble. #auspol

Tom McIlroy unwittingly sums up what's wrong with legacy media coverage of #gambling ad 'reforms' with the word "unclear".
It should be the core task of any political journalist to investigate and *make clear* the extent of the hold that gambling, sports & media lobbyists have over the PM. #auspol

No @news.abc.net.au - the internal Labor revolt is not about 'strengthening gambling reforms'.
It's about introducing reforms that actually work.
Albo's current pissweak package ignores the evidence, while preferencing the greed of the #gambling, sports and media lobbies. #auspol

The Albanese government faces internal pressure to strengthen its gambling reforms, with more MPs calling for sweeping amendments.

Richard Marles on #RNbreakfast wheeled out pathetic talking points on their #gambling 'reforms'.
He says "strikes the right balance" 7 times.
But when pressed by Sally Sara, it's clear that the "balance" is the gambling, sports and media lobbies on one side, and the rest of Australia on the other.

About this time in 2023, AUS lost a great politician, Peta Murphy. Many colleagues across the asile spoke of her great work on reducing harm from gambling advertising #AdBan This week her colleagues have let her down. C’mon Albo, do better. #auspol #qt #gambling youtu.be/-77kKPdPdEo?...

@jennaprice.bsky.social in the @canberratimes.bsky.social serves a Triple Whammy to Albanese for his subservience to the big boys of gambling, football & media - none of whom give 2 hoots for those they drive to ruin (or suicide) #gambling

Reform of #gambling legislation enhances gambling industry & denies human crises it causes. This is the headline debate in today's podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS. Same as #aged care legislation that favours providers ahead of clients. Lets back humanity.

Why is #AnthonyAlbanese standing in the way of strong public sentiment and bipartisan support for tougher #gambling advertising laws, especially in the wake of the landmark report led by Peta Murphy, the late Labor MP?

He bet on whether he would show up at the State of the Union address, and what he would be wearing, and then, of course, didn't show up. Now he pushes for regulation.

Harm:
#Malta says it is defending tax sovereignty. But #gambling addiction brings debt, anxiety, isolation and broken trust into families, while the industry remains profitable. #Brussels also fails if it taxes that suffering but spends the money elsewhere instead of on treatment and prevention.

"But Kalshi and Polymarket say they provide valuable information to patients."
Yea, as in, patient looks at pool, sees odds med will work low (which they may or not really be right), says, "If I send cousin Joey to bet now, I can at least make sure my heirs are covered."

#Gambling is an #addiction. #Gambling as part of #healthcare, #science, #politics, or anything else that has to do with #RealLife is insane. #GamblingAds are everywhere all the time. When did we decide #AdvertisingGambling and then making it part of EVERYTHING was a good idea???
