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) (19:46): Yes, that's essentially correct, Senator Scarr, but the point I was making before, which is applicable, is that this needs to be seen across the whole package and how it applies across the whole industry—obviously, not on jerseys and not on stadium-naming rights.

Those other elements are really important. If you were watching a game currently, you'd see that throughout the whole match. I think, across the whole range of reforms—be it in advertising, be it in restrictions on stadiums, be it in restrictions on jerseys, or be it in the 15 minutes before a game—there will be less ads as a result of the changes that we're talking about.

I think that's important, and I think that'll be welcomed by Australians.
