I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

Since receiving the online gambling inquiry report, the government has engaged comprehensively and regularly with stakeholders. As part of the government's broader consideration of further reforms, we are currently consulting with key stakeholders on a proposed model for online wagering advertising reform, prior to a decision being made. The proposed model focuses on breaking the nexus that exists between wagering in sport, minimising the exposure of children to online wagering harm and tackling the saturation and targeting of wagering ads. The consultation process has been thorough and valuable and has raised additional considerations that the government is working through. Accordingly, the proposed model has not been finalised and is still subject to the cabinet decision-making process. There will always be a combination of private and public consultations on any given proposal. Once the government announces a policy or introduces a bill, it will be subject to all the scrutiny advocacy that we expect in a democracy, including all the usual parliamentary processes.
