Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
1:00 pm

I take the Minister of State’s point. However, I am reminded of what Senator McDowell said two weeks ago when he asked whether the Bill was really about permitting gambling as opposed to curbing it. It seems from the Minister of State's response that he is happy to regulate gambling, which is disappointing. We know gambling companies are very creative in finding ways of replacing advertising, and one of the most straightforward ways they do that is by putting their names to various events. He should not allow them to do that.
