The gambling industry is predatory and insidious.

I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body.

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

Something about clowns and circuses......
This is seriously beyond parody… an elite Australian sports person and Senator kicked out of the parliamentary sports club for not sufficiently brown nosing the gambling lobby. If that doesn’t illustrate where we are, nothing will #AusPol

Can we please have a government run along the principles of whatever a Pocock person says?
How we ‘fess up when we mess up shows who we are. Pay it all back Deloitte. And apologise. Give yrsrlf some procurement teeth Labor: the capability to ban for poor behaviour, commensurate with the misdemeanour, up to 5 yrs.

No surprise that despite majority community support we still don’t have a ban on gambling advertising when the Albanese government accepts money from companies like Sportsbet for their fundraising.

When will they put Australians ahead of gambling companies?
