Australians are the biggest losers in the world when it comes to gambling.
The gambling industry is harming too many Australians and their families, yet gambling advertising continues to plague sports matches, television and the internet.
3 in 4 Aussie kids think that gambling is a normal part of sport. A 13 year old today doesn’t know a world without gambling ads. This isn’t right. |
Sport shouldn't be about gambling.
Labor and the Liberals continue to receive millions of dollars in political donations from the gambling industry.
The time for action is now. Labor must back the Greens calls to ban all gambling ads.
The Greens are the only party with a clear plan to reduce gambling harm, that goes beyond advertising bans to comprehensive national regulation. We believe the government should focus on protecting people and communities, not cozying up to industry lobbyists and protecting corporate profits.
The Greens are calling on the Labor Government to:
- Urgently ban all gambling advertising across TV, radio, print and online.
- Establish a National Independent Gambling Regulator.
- End the grip of the gambling industry on politics by banning political donations from gambling and other destructive industries.
Sport brings millions together, but gambling tears families apart. It's time for a ban on gambling ads.
Join us in calling on the Labor Government and the Liberal Party to put people before profit and urgently act on gambling harm.
