Summary
Liberal MP Simon Kennedy is sounding the alarm on gambling ads, calling for urgent, stronger government action after witnessing the devastating personal toll on friends, teachers, and families. He argues current proposals fall short, comparing the industry’s lobbying power to the silence of politicians protecting vulnerable Australians. As new legislation looms — including strict TV ad caps, radio bans during school hours, and online opt-out options — critics like Tim Costello and the Greens warn of loopholes and low uptake, urging a national regulator instead. Kennedy’s moral urgency and the ongoing debate highlight a nation at a crossroads: protect the vulnerable or risk further harm.
