The Alliance’s @TimCostello and @OffOdds pressed Nine's board on gambling ads, questioning their responsibility as harmful content proliferates across Nine’s platforms. msn.com/en-au/money/news/str…

“The industry is crying wolf – it is as logical as calling for the return of tobacco advertising,” says @TimCostello. It’s time to #EndGamblingAds | TV companies launch bid to block gambling ad ‘total ban’ smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

We are devastated by the news that Peta Murphy MP (@petajan) has passed. Such a passionate and committed champion for gambling reform.

Alliance CEO @CarolJBennett and Chief Advocate @TimCostello had a very positive meeting today with Lara Alexander - independent Member for #Bass, and John Tucker - Independent for #Lyons, to discuss Tasmania’s nation leading cashless gambling card.

I am a lifelong Essendon Football Club tragic. A decade ago, our club motto was “Whatever it takes” – and we were heavily sanctioned for using an experimental drug program and labelled cheats. A decade on, the scars are only just healing. 1/8

Excellent reforms announced by Melissa Horne MP and @DanielAndrewsMP today to reduce gambling harm. Well done Victoria!

@TimCostello wondering why, at 4.10pm in the afternoon, I’m seeing Ladbrokes adverts on my TV. When my 9yr old and his friends think it’s cool to run around yelling ‘Bet with Ya Mates” then enough is enough!

Newly elected Independent MPs in NSW say they won't back away from gambling reform.
It comes as the federal parliament continues hearings into online gambling.
Hear from Reverend Tim Costello.📻

🧵At @wesleymission we commissioned a @YouGov poll to learn about NSW adults’ attitudes to #gamblingreform. We surveyed over 1000 people. Here’s what we learned: 👇 1/7

Caught up with Kate Seselja at Hurstville pre-poll today. Kate grew up in Kogarah, where at 18 was introduced to pokies. Kate's story is heartbreaking. Losing $500k on the pokies. Kate is now actively pursuing reform and helping those impacted by gambling harm. Thx Kate. #Kogarah #tomanypokies #nswpol #nswvotes

The role of pokies in deciding NSW elections
" they’ll find guys who have a voice in caucus and they buy.. mouthpiece money… find the next up-and-coming heroes who might become premier; a guy on the rise, and they’ll start giving him money too" #NSWvotes

Great to see @nswgreens @greens leading on this. Online gambling targets children & those who gamble online are twice as likely to develop serious addictions..
Where isn't @NSWLabor helping lead the charge?

Powerful story on a key issue at the #NSWvotes election this month - #gamblingreform
It’s no secret that Australians are among the world’s biggest gamblers. Poker machines don’t just feed the addiction, they’re a handy way to launder billions. Troy Stolz is running against the Labor opposition leader on his mission to take down pokies in NSW.

An honour to be on the ballot as an independent candidate for #Kogarah! @ChrisMinnsMP @nswlabor was absent for the draw & remains absent on gambling reform & the cashless system, which is supported by Unions NSW, Crime Commission etc.

Great day in #Kogarah canvassing with @TimCostello. Looking forward to discussing #Pokies #GamblingReform at the candidate's forum at 7.30pm. It will be live streamed at bit.ly/kogarahtv Thank you @djyung8686 for organising. #nswpol #nswvotes #auspol @NSWPolAlerts

The fact that Ladbrokes were only fined $78,540 for preying on Gavin Fineff’s gambling addiction is shameful. The Federal Government must support my Making Gambling Businesses Accountable Bill to drag gambling predators into line andrewwilkie.org/2023/03/lad…. #auspol #politas
