Sadly agree. Lots of ScoMo-esque boasting about what they're doing re protecting the environment. And they're NOT actually protecting the environment; they're protecting the interests of the fossil fuels industry. The same could be said about so many Albanese Govt policies. It's gaslighting. #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.
