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) (19:31): So the government is setting up a regime where they're asking the parliament to pass a law and they're telling the Australian people these are the toughest laws ever on gambling, and yet the Commonwealth has no power over the licence of a gambling company? What on earth happens when these gambling companies continue to contravene and break the law?

You have riddled yourselves useless, impotent. Why hasn't the government moved on the recommendation for a national regulator? Why has the government refused to give itself the power to hold the gambling companies to account and to be able to remove their licences?
