“Nothing less than a plan to eliminate all broadcast and online gambling advertising is good enough.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThe Labor Government is once again showing it will do more for the gambling giants and Murdoch Media than sports fans.
\u00a0
\u201cIt is only the corporate giants profiting off human suffering from the insidious gambling industry that support gambling ads. The same profits that get funnelled into the Labor Party through political donations.
\u00a0
\u201cIs it any wonder Labor is soft on reforms when the Communications Minister dines out with Sportsbet? How many more lives will be wrecked for the sake of more dirty dinners and donations?\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThe Australian public wants an end to gambling ads. They want to enjoy watching television or scrolling online without being bombarded with betting odds.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cCome on, Labor, do it for the kids.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThe Greens are ready to vote for a complete ban when Parliament returns.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
