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) (19:58): My understanding is the cost recovery levy will cover ACMA costs for staff, BetStop, inducements and also opt-out requests at the same time.

My understanding is that the important point here is that the levy to industry will help us meet that need.
