## Resource

South Australian health leaders criticize federal governments gambling reforms as insufficient response to online betting harm, as recommended in Peta Murphys 2023 report. The governments measures, including opt-out options and ad caps, are deemed too lenient by experts like Professor Michael Baigent, who emphasize gambling as a severe health issue affecting young people. SAs medical association and social services boss highlight the surge in mental health issues, family problems, and suicides linked to gambling. In 2022-23, South Australians lost over $424 million online, with over 1 million ads on free TV and radio. Nationally, 3.1 million Australians face gambling harm, impacting six times more family and friends. Critics warn that the delayed implementation of these reforms will continue to expose children to addictive online content and strain services, advocating for stronger measures to address the root cause of gambling harm.
