Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026

Ms WELLS (Lilley—Minister for Sport and Minister for Communications) (16:44): I thank the member for Wentworth for moving these amendments. The government will not be supporting these amendments. The amendments we are making to the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026 relating to the direct marketing of inducements align with the government's overarching policy intent, which is to balance the protection of children and vulnerable Australians without limiting legitimate consumer choices.

I would also note that some bans on inducements mentioned in the member's amendments, such as banning inducements relating to opening and closing an account, are already legislated by states and territories under the national consumer protection framework. I thank the House. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Georganas ): The question is that the amendments moved by the member for Wentworth be agreed to.
