The article does a good job of highlighting what a terrible job the Albanese Government has done in dealing with gambling advertising.
I also find myself surprised to not disagree that strongly with Delany about anti-siphoning laws. I expected he’d be against them entirely. Instead, he just suggests that they could be available exclusively through streaming services, so long as they’re still free. Personally I do still disagree with this because even free, they’d probably require an account and collect your data, and because of the need for a reliable internet connection.
Still, it’s not so bad. If they were mandated to do it without creating an account, I’d probably support it.

I can’t believe nothing was done about the gambling advertising. It’s gotten ridiculously out of hand, almost comically so.

has it? for me its pokies that are the issue, i’ve seen gambling advertisements in sports for over 10 years now all over the world, ufc/epl/f1/nrl, still not spent a single dollar
seems like it’s a more highlighted issue simply because you see it:
sport gambling represents under 5% of the problem gambling issue. Overwhelmingly it’s about poker machines. Then it’s followed by lotteries and lotto tickets and those issues as well.”
