"Former MP Peta Murphy, a Labor hero to many, died in December 2023 from cancer
that recurred shortly after the 2019 federal election.
Despite this major illness, she actively and enthusiastically chaired a
multi-party House Committee examining online wagering in Australia. The
committee’s unanimous report was released in June 2023.
The Albanese government then sat on it for nearly three years before finally
issuing its response yesterday.
Some reforms on advertising restrictions were announced by the government last
month. The government’s full response was then tabled on budget day – a move
many critics said was intended to “bury” it.
Indeed, the government has delivered a package that singularly fails to meet
the standards Murphy and her colleagues sought. It is, at best, a minimal
response."
