Shorten casts doubt on total gambling ad ban, citing media revenue and social media pressure
Minister Bill Shorten told ABC's Q+A that he is not convinced a complete prohibition on gambling advertising works, pointing to free-to-air media's reliance on ad revenue. The government is reportedly considering a cap on TV and radio ads instead of the total ban recommended in the 2023 Murphy report. The opposition said it supports banning ads during sports telecasts but did not back a blanket ban.
