My question is to the Prime Minister. Australians are the biggest per capita losers on gambling. Eighteen months ago, Peta Murphy's review recommended a ban on online gambling, and this is widely supported in my electorate, including by a mum I met in Kings Cross who is working as a cleaner and is desperate to help her son escape online gambling and the damage it has done to their family. This parliament had a once-in-a-generation opportunity to stop online gambling advertising. Why have you abandoned it?
