This is a question for the Prime Minister. A mum from Curtin told me that yesterday her 15-year-old son said that he's decided to take up sports gambling as a side hustle because it's easy money. Our committee inquiry contained 31 recommendations to reduce harm from predatory online gambling companies. Fourteen months later, only one recommendation—banning ads—is even being discussed. Will the government respond to the other 30 recommendations before the next election?
