There's no mention of that in this suite of reforms that the government's announced.
It's been really, really hard.
I think it does.
That's the criticism that has been put to me by advocates, by MPs, by the crossbench, by members of the Labor Party, both sort of in the parliament and outside it, within the rank and file, that are pushing for reform.
This has been a really consistent criticism that the government has a really close relationship with the gambling lobby.
And not just the gambling lobby, there are other stakeholders too that the government has close relationships with that it doesn't want to jeopardise.
So things like broadcasters that rely on the advertising revenue, things like the sporting codes themselves.
Yes, broadcasters are hooked on this as well and they've sort of flagged that there might be changes to revenue models and so on or warned or threatened that there might be changes to staff or to revenue models or to programming.
I think that's a bit of an empty threat.
A lot of these broadcasters are doing very well for themselves.
And as we speak, Peter Volandes, as the chair of the Rugby League Commission, has been giving quotes to the News Corp papers about the massive, you know, multi-billion dollar deal, the broadcast deal that he's ready to sign and has many, many suits for.
So cynically, I would say they'll do just fine.
We're not entirely clear on that yet.
The short answer is, yes, they'll probably try to get around them in some form.
This is part of the reason why a partial ban doesn't work.
And this is why experts say partial bans don't work.
It's because gambling companies find new and creative ways to get around them.
The gambling companies have already lobbied really, really hard on this over the last three years.
In August 2024, it was reported that the then communications minister, now the attorney general, Michelle Rowland, had sort of met with a number of stakeholders, including the big wagering companies.
And the proposal at the time was something to the effect of two gambling ads an hour.
