My question as to the Prime Minister. In an interview on ABC Perth on 24 September you defended your government's refusal to implement a complete ban on the advertising of sports and online gambling, by saying the problem is overwhelmingly poker machines. Why don't you use the Corporations Act or the Commonwealth's tax powers to implement harm-minimisation measures nationally on poker machines? Or is the reality that the Labor Party is simply in the pockets of the predatory gambling companies?
