Labor believes well-regulated gambling has a place in Australian society and acknowledges the need for appropriate harm-minimisation measures to protect children and problem gamblers. That is why Labor supported stronger consumer protection initiatives in response to the O'Farrell review, including amendments to the Interactive Gambling Act and the introduction of a national consumer protection framework. Labor supports the intent of this motion. However, in view of the work currently in train across government, including on a national self-exclusion scheme, Labor is not in a position to support it at this time but urges the government to release the new framework without delay.

Question negatived.
