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.

Inducements are a really important part of this.

If you talk to researchers and...

Experts in this space, they're the most damaging thing.

And we know from the Murphy inquiry the kind of behavior from gambling companies where people are on a losing streak and they potentially stop.

They're then given an inducement to get back into it.

So it's those sorts of things.

Ultimately, you'd just like them to...

do the whole thing.

But in the absence of that, I'll be pushing as hard as I can in the Senate to actually put Australians first and say, well, how do we start to protect younger Australians?

Well, I think the budget shows that pressure works.

The government's clearly under pressure on housing.

I think we've finally seen, and huge credit to Treasurer Chalmers here, some bold reform on housing.

It's obviously not going to please everyone.
