I believe the Government has failed yet again to address the real factor in problem gambling. That is the absolute saturation of gambling advertising and continuing to allow nearly every pub and club in most states to make a large portion of their profit from poker machines.
Earlier this year they brought in some half assed law where bookmakers arent allowed to advertise on tv during a live sporting event. But then things like all the electronic signage around the boundary, and boundary rope covers in cricket for example, are plastered with betting advertising and continuously broadcast live anyway.
