A parliamentary inquiry report in Australia has recommended a comprehensive ban on all forms of gambling advertisements, including online platforms and traditional media. The report, which focused on protecting vulnerable individuals and addressing problem gambling, highlighted the country's high per capita losses to online gambling.
The proposed ban would be implemented in phases over the next three years. Prime Minister expressed that the government will consider all the recommendations, emphasizing the need for comprehensive action on online and social media issues. The report also suggested the establishment of a single federal minister to address gambling harm mitigation, increased taxes on operators to fund gambling harm reduction, and stricter measures against unlicensed offshore operators.
