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) (19:20): I might be able to provide some helpful information, Senator Pocock. My understanding is that part of those numbers is based on a Queensland Government Statistician's Office report from Queensland Treasury around gambling numbers—the share of gambling numbers is based off that.

So I presume, from that, it would be based off Queensland numbers—nationwide numbers is what I'm advised.
