Episode Details

Labor’s national conference has formally adopted a bold new gambling policy aimed at shielding young people from predatory online gaming and social media ads. The party pledges to empower regulators, mandate annual parliamentary reporting, and ban gambling ads during live sports — without fully embracing a federal ban. For the first time, gambling reform is enshrined in Labor’s platform, committing them to restrict ads, boost counseling services, block tax breaks for addictive products, and sever gambling’s link to sports. Delegates stress public education and harm prevention, signaling a major shift toward protecting vulnerable Australians — especially youth — from the insidious reach of the gambling industry.
