I want to touch on content, in particular, advertising content. Obviously, money is where this is all at. Something that our Bill has not tackled is an outright ban on junk food or gambling advertisements. It is a very complex thing. However, junk food and online gambling are two areas in society where there is massive revenue being generated. From a Government point of view, should we be looking towards an outright ban on these products?
