The Liberal-National government has a strong record on online gambling reform, noting that gambling regulation is primarily a function of the state and territory governments. The Commonwealth has been working cooperatively with the states and territories to implement a new national consumer protection framework for online wagering following the O'Farrell review into illegal offshore wagering, which this government commissioned. We have already passed one tranche of legislation, and there is more work to do. The Commonwealth will continue working in partnership with the states and territories to ensure a responsible regulatory framework for online wagering.
