QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATERS (Queensland—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:15): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Last week we heard damning evidence about the predatory behaviour of gambling corporations, grooming people with a gambling addiction to keep betting, and letting streaming services continue to advertise, with no limits.

Yet today we're hearing media reports of a deal between Labor and the Liberals to pass weak gambling reforms that do not fully deal with the recommendations in the Murphy report. How can you sleep at night—doing a deal with the Liberals to pass gambling reforms that protect gambling corporations' profits rather than delivering evidence based policy that protects people?
