I'm agog at the egregious mendacity of Albanese saying re: gambling advertising, "The problem isn’t advertising. The problem is gambling. That’s the problem. And when you look at what the fact is that, overwhelmingly, almost 70% of problem gambling is about poker machines."
We went through this entire fucking argument around smoking. The only reason we have to have it again over gambling is because Australian governments suck at the teat of the gambling industry.
