The Greens political party has had so many positions on this issue now—probably three positions in as many days. It's a party that has been vehemently opposed to this government's consultation process. I acknowledge, Mr Speaker, that this is taking longer than we would have liked to get done. The reason for that is the complexity, whereas the Leader of the Opposition, when he was a member of a cabinet for nine years, initiated changes that resulted in a 50 per cent increase in gambling advertising and an even bigger increase in regional areas. We will get this right because we know how important it is.
