But yeah, I do think having a levy that could actually fund some of these gaps, like this is a public health issue.
We should be treating it as such.
No one's saying that you can't gamble.
If you're over 18, go for it.
But the problem that we have is this normalization of it where you're setting young people up for failure.
If that's what they've seen their entire life...
that this is how you have fun, this is how you enjoy sport, of course they're going to do it, rather than, you know, I guess making a bit more of an informed decision of, oh, this is actually something I enjoy.
It's been really disappointing, the lack of focus on it.

These are the things you can't use it for or develop it on and kind of shape where it goes.
Because I think there's a real lack of...
trust in these companies.
I mean, we look at what was promised with social media, right?
