Well, as I started to indicate in my answer to your primary question, we are consulting on a proposed model to reduce wagering ads and we are focused on three outcomes: reducing the exposure of children to gambling ads, breaking the nexus of wagering and sport, and tackling the targeting and saturation of ads. The government continues to consult with stakeholders, and I would make the additional point that these reforms to wagering advertising will form just one part of the government's comprehensive response to the 31 recommendations made by the parliamentary inquiry.
We understand that advertising reform is complex. Industry stakeholders and harm advocates, for different reasons, are putting their views forward, and we are considering multiple channels over which advertising is delivered—not just TV and radio, but digital platforms and social media where advertising targets vulnerable Australians.
