Greens Criticize Australian Government's Online Gambling Ad Proposal

The Australian Greens party has criticized a government proposal to allow people to opt out of online gambling advertisements. Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young called the plan a 'smokescreen' that fails to account for how the internet functions. The government's bill, introduced on Monday, promises a 'one-stop shop' for opting out but has not detailed how such a system would work.

Good on the Greens for calling this out. An opt-out system sounds good in theory, but how do you even enforce that online? It's totally unworkable.

Gambling ruins families and communities. Allowing ads at all is harmful, let alone this weak opt-out idea. We should promote halal livelihoods instead.

Typical government move. A 'one-stop shop' with no details is just a fancy name for doing nothing. They need to protect people, not create smokescreens.
