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 CHISHOLM (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Regional Development, Assistant Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Assistant Minister for Resources and Deputy Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (18:48): Thanks, Senator Hanson-Young. All I can do is reiterate the points I made before. The government will set the indicators for red flags, not the gambling companies.

The risk indicators will be evidence based, and we'll take the appropriate time to settle them via a legislative instrument. We think it is important that we hold the gambling companies to account on these matters.
