I thank the member for Curtin for her question and for her genuine interest in what is a major issue concerning mums and dads and families right around the country. They are concerned about the impact that a whole range of media can have, whether it's gambling advertising or whether it's the sort of media that sometimes pops up on people's mobile phones. There are a range of issues with social media causing a great deal of concern about the harm that can be caused.
In two years, we have done more than any government in Australian history with regard to tackling this and recognising that gambling can do harm, including gambling advertising. We have said there is more to do. We will do more. We'll continue to work with the crossbench and others in this chamber on these issues in a constructive way. I thank the member for Curtin and others for the way that they've engaged in this process.
