Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026, National Self-exclusion Register (Cost Recovery Levy) Amendment Bill 2026, Interactive Gambling (Cost Recovery Levy) Bill 2026

Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia—Manager of Australian Greens Business in the Senate) (18:20): ACMA doesn't fine anybody, by the way, let alone random websites on the internet that are running gambling advertising and targeting young, vulnerable, impressionable men. Could the minister please explain how the government is going to stop the predatory gambling industry from finding who the weakest customers are?
