7am · David Pocock on the “cowardly” announcement hidden on budget day · 14 May 2026 podcast

And, you know, the former head of the AFL, Gil McLaughlin, is obviously working at a gambling company now.

Peter Volandes is the chair of a gambling organization.

So there's really close links there.

And then you add in Free to Rate Television, who...

I think just under 10% of the ad revenue comes from gambling ads.

And I think those three have really exerted a lot of pressure.

And I actually have sympathy for the free-to-air television argument.

But we have to ensure that we don't fund free-to-air television.

If that's all that's holding it up, surely we can find another revenue source for that.

As I said, a 1.5% levy.

or some way to actually have good public interest journalism in this country.

That's in our national interest.

So, you know, I think we can definitely do both.

But the combination of that, I think, has meant that the Prime Minister is simply not wanting to act.

Well, I think broadening the ad ban is a really important step.

And I've been having conversations with crossbenchers, with the opposition, about one, ensuring that we actually have a Senate inquiry into it so that we can look in more detail into it.

There's

been a bit of a habit with some controversial legislation that the government does some sort of deal to actually have no Senate scrutiny.

So I think that's a really important aspect.

And then through that, to actually look at how can you broaden the gambling ad ban.
