I thank the member for Wentworth for her question. We've done more in two years to tackle gambling harms than has been done by any government since Federation. We've also made it very clear that the status quo is untenable, but we continue to engage with stakeholders on our response to what is an important issue. We have established a mandatory customer ID verification for online wagering. We have banned the use of credit cards for online wagering. We have forced online wagering companies to send their customers monthly activity statements outlining wins and losses. We have introduced new evidence based taglines in wagering advertising. We have provided direct funding for specialist financial counselling to support people affected by problem gambling. We have introduced nationally consistent staff training.
