We are on the cusp of a federal election, and the incompetence that we've seen from the Albanese government on gambling advertising is the incompetence that Australians are seeing every single day, right across this government, because no-one believes the Prime Minister when he says that you'll be better off under Labor. You can fool people once but not twice. Under Labor's economic mismanagement, Australians are experiencing the longest sustained period of inflation since the 1990s.

Again in the parliament this week Labor is in denial: 'There is nothing to see here.' There is nothing to see, of course, on gambling advertising. What a debacle that has been from the government! But there has been nothing to see from this government in terms of its economic management of this country, other than that interest rates have increased 12 times, energy bills have risen by up to a thousand dollars, living standards have collapsed, 27,000 businesses have gone insolvent and we are in a record-breaking household recession.

The Prime Minister, Mr Albanese, has offered no comfort to Australians—including Australians who've lost a lot of money through gambling. He's done absolutely nothing. This is just another example of the incompetent and weak Albanese government. That's why a Dutton government must be installed at the next federal election.
