"Gambling harm dwells in the dark, often in the night hours, usually unspoken,
yet it casts long shadows across our communities. But the spotlight is finally
on gambling and the industry that pulls the strings.
A new Grattan Institute report,
A better bet, shows how Australia has let the
gambling industry run wild. The report lays out a roadmap for federal and state
governments to prevent gambling harm.
The spotlight in recent weeks has been on a proposed ban on gambling
advertising, as the federal government considers its response to the 2023
Murphy Inquiry. This federal parliamentary inquiry into online gambling harm
remarkably reached multi-party consensus on all 31 recommendations.
Banning gambling ads would certainly be a good start. But we need to go further
to prevent harm, particularly when it comes to pokies and betting."
