My question is to the Prime Minister. In the gallery today, we have several people who have tried to meet with you and your ministers to tell you how gambling addiction has ruined their lives. They say that gambling ads constantly triggered them to gamble, and they're asking you to ban all gambling ads to stop the normalisation of gambling, especially for children. Prime Minister, why have you engaged directly with those who profit from gambling but not with these people, and what do you have to say to them as they sit here today?

I was with the member for Goldstein last night. She's fully aware of where I've been and fully aware of who I've been with today. So I reject the assertion that I won't meet with people. The last person I met with on this issue was Tim Costello ten days ago.
