You can't advertise cigarettes but every ad break on a streaming service is offering free bets and limitless spins or... something.

Gambling has ruined more lives in my generation than having a smoke or watching porn but, thanks to lobbying, they have basically no oversight.

Everyday the rotting, greasy stink gets worse & the we-really-need-an-ICAC smoke rises from #socialmediaban & @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Scoop: the pro-teen social media ban lobby group 36 Months was funded & co-staffed by its co-founder's ad production firm that was simultaneously making gambling ads

The federal government has ignored calls for a gambling ad ban while pursuing the social media ban.

Two and half years after #theMurphyReport was finalised 31 bipartisan recommendations languish in inaction and silence whilst around 200 suicides per year occur due to gambling and related issues

It’s time for action and to honour Peta Murphy’s final work in the parliament

Social media ban for under-sixteens is world leading and sorely needed. If only governments in Australia showed the same backbone when it comes to protecting our kids from gambling advertising. #BanGamblingAds www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
As the world watches, Australia stands up for childhood
Decisive regulation of social media is akin to the enfranchisement of women as a piece of revolutionary social policy reform. This is the enfranchisement of childhood.

BAN Gambling advertising in Australia! Dear @australianlabor.bsky.social Why aren't you stepping up and doing what you were elected to do? Gambling in Australia is a rabid disease that needs to be stopped. #BanGamblingAds #auspol

People who know more than me say that this exemption refers to actual games sites like Roblox (incidentally: very dangerous for kids) rather than gambling sites (which continue to advertise to everyone).

UK Age Verification Law has come into affect since last Friday and yet I still can't go onto a YouTube video or enjoy watching football without those stupid FUCKING gambling ads!!!!!

When tobacco ads were banned, sports in Australia didn't collapse. Neither did free-to-air TV.

So why shouldn't gambling ads be banned?

Senior Economist @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social unpacks proposed limits on gambling ads on Dollars & Sense!

Wouldn't it be lovely if #Albo & #labor would use their massive advantage over the Tories by doing something that is good for everyone at the cost of a bit of political capital?

Now is the time to ban gambling ads.

I might even start watching spot again...

Cross bench calls for action.

Two zombie parties throw bricks at each other.

#Auspol
Today marks 2 years since the Murphy Report on the harms of online gambling.

The crossbench has been calling for a ban on online gambling ads for two years. The Government has remained silent.

In those 2 years Australians have lost $50 billion.

It’s time for our government to act.

The gambling industry in Australia is totally out of control, and it seems to be dragging the politicians along with it from both parties. How much dark money is floating about in “contributions”? Who would’ve thought that @australianlabor.bsky.social would do nothing? #StopGambling #auspol
Tomorrow marks two years since the release of the parliamentary gambling report chaired by the late Peta Murphy. Despite strong public support, Fed Govt has failed to even respond to the report. For those harmed by gambling, this is a shocking betrayal #auspol #politas

Continued government inaction is costing families their wellbeing and financial security.
It is time to implement a total ban on online gambling advertising—an evidence-based recommendation that is strongly supported by the Australian public.
