The Ukrainians have just taken out a $400 million Russian submarine with underwater drones. (Slava Ukraini!) This does not bode well for the expensive nuclear targets Australia is paying the Brits and Yanks squillions of dollars to acquire. Fish in a barrel.

It’s been over 2 years since the late Peta Murphy’s inquiry into online gambling advertising & how it affects problem gamblers. Since then, Australians have lost $60 billion to gambling.
Australians need a government with the will and the courage to protect them from gambling harms.
