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) (19:16): What I can do is guarantee that I think the best part of this bill is that we're doing both of these tasks in terms of restricting wagering advertising in Australia—which is important and something that a lot of people identified as wanting to happen—and cracking down on offshore illegal gambling services as well.

I think that is something where we are taking both issues head-on when it comes to advertising and restricting the nature of advertising and the amount of advertising that we'd see in Australia and also cracking down on illegal gambling services at the same time.
