SenateWednesday 19 August 2026

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) (19:37): I'm sure the Minister for Communications has been very busy and focused on getting this legislation through the parliament. I also believe the news bargaining legislation is before the Reps, and it will hopefully be here before the Senate tomorrow as well, so Minister Wells has a big agenda when it comes to this portfolio.

I'm sure at the appropriate time we'll be happy to do media.
