Albanese’s gambling ad gamble: Too little too late?
Summary
The Albanese government has responded to the three-year-old Murphy review with a plan to reduce online gambling advertising in Australia. However, the response has been met with criticism from campaigners and crossbenchers who believe it doesn't meet the recommendations of the review. The debate highlights the pervasive nature of gambling advertising in Australian media and daily life, extending beyond traditional ad breaks to encompass sports viewing and online activity. Crikey's media reporter, Daany Saeed, is covering the government’s plan and the ensuing backlash, raising questions about the depth of betting’s integration into Australian culture.
