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) (19:26): I know it's an uncomfortable question for the minister. Gambling companies around the country are regulated, registered and licensed through the NT commission because it's the only one in the country. We've called for a national regulator, and Peta Murphy called for a national regulator.

Your government has said no. All of the experts have said we need a national regulator. You've said no.

The reason these gambling companies get to trade and exist is that they are registered and regulated via the NT. I would like to know whether the Albanese government believes the NT commission is sufficient.
