Considering how key this part is to the point, it's rather understated in this article.
In September 2022, Australia started a Parliamentary inquiry into online gambling. In June 2023 the inquiry handed down its full report, including 31 recommendations. 2 of those recommendations included a phased full ban of all advertising of online gambling.
Parliamentary rules require a response to inquiries within 6 months. 30 months later there still has not been any official response.
See people here want gambling ads banned, but the PM has ties to gambling lobby groupa so the gov won't touch it. But when it comes to laws nobody wants like giving cops more invasive surveillance power the government can suddenly expedite them at record speed. We live in a fake democracy
Also groups like clubs NSW are too big and too corrupt
