"The Albanese Government has failed to act on the scourge of gambling ads, despite the pleading of their own backbenchers and even their own Communications Minister. "Today's news that the Prime Minister personally intervened to protect the gambling lobby is disturbing. The Prime Minister may not have the guts to stand up to the gambling lobby - but the Greens will act.
"Throughout this term of parliament, the Greens offered a number of times to facilitate the passage of legislation to ban gambling ads. In a minority government it will be a key ask of the Greens in any negotiations. "As families have sat down to watch the footy over the long weekend, they have continued to be bombarded by gambling ads despite the mountain of evidence we have been given about how dangerous these ads are.
"Peta Murphy, was right, the experts and the evidence are clear: gambling ads do significant harm and they must be banned immediately, just like tobacco ads."
