As a child of the 1970's, I grew up on beer and cigarette ads. Fortunately long gone. The ubiquitous gambling ads of today have taught children, teens & young adults that you can't enjoy any sport w/o a bet with your mates. And PM Albo does nothing. 😠 #auspol #GamblingAdBan #SocialMediaBan

It is now clear when Albo said "no-one left behind", he really meant:
- the gambling industry
- big media
- fossil fuel lobby
- for-profit childcare corporations
- aged care companies
- employment service providers
- property developers...
But Australians with the greatest needs? Yeah nah. #auspol

Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.
Labor tipped to drop proposal for online gambling ad ban
Political and industry sources expect Communications Minister Anika Wells to crack-down on illegal offshore gambling websites.

Marr's attitude in this was so obviously personal, so much so that his loudly wounded ego overtook the interview, falling victim to the #NotAllMen syndrome, and clearly taking Hedge's journalism criticisms as an attack on him personally.

The self-congratulatory back-slapping from Donald Trump and his supporters over the Gaza peace deal is not only preemptive, but galling for Palestinians who continue to suffer.

The chorus of people congratulating buffoon Trump on Gaza peace deal are wrong, and here's why
Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan relies on ahistorical nonsense imposed on the Palestinian people, who are told they should be grateful. He deserves no applause.

What is wrong with our ABC News? Twice today I’ve listened to the news & heard rubbish from Scott Morrison, the Worst PM Ever, interviewed on #Murdoch’s Sky commenting on PNG & a Trump Peace Prize?!
We voted him out of office.
Why are we STILL getting “Morrison says…” on *our ABC*?
