Labor's gambling reform would cut spending by less than 1%, government's own modelling shows

Government modelling shows Labor's gambling advertising restrictions would reduce Australia's annual wagering spending by $62.7 million — about 0.8%. Peta Murphy's 2023 parliamentary inquiry recommended prohibiting all online gambling inducements "without delay." Three years on, Albanese is negotiating a compromise with the Coalition that falls well short of that standard. Backbenchers and advocates want stronger measures.
