Comment on The government is under pressure to ban gambling ads. History shows half-measures don’t work.

In an age of neoliberalism governments are terrified of actually being a government.

The restriction of freedom of say association bans and move on orders is apparently fine. Restricting the freedom of a cesspit of an industry to hook millions of Aussies?

Gee idk. We have to weigh the pros and cons here.

What’s even the point of a life in politics if you want grasp big moments like this? Yeah a few are crooked as hell, but most backbenchers have a shitty enough job that is going nowhere they must have some motivation right?
