Alliance Voices Advocate Mark Kempster @OffOdds hears heartbreaking stories every week. Just last Friday, a young man reached out, dreading the gambling ads that bombard him every weekend, feeling trapped with no way out. canberratimes.com.au/story/8… 👇

This is such an important story. Well done Carolyn, Anna and @SimoneNicoleM .

New statistics show women in Australia are gambling at similar rates to men, and the effects can be catastrophic.
For Carolyn and Anna, gambling nearly cost them their lives, and now they are urging other women to learn from their mistakes and get support.

Two very important articles in the AFR @MizenRonald and the Guardian showing the level of lobbying and access the gambling industry, and major sporting codes have with the PMs office, and their arguments against a gambling ad ban. ⬇️

What is the point of holding public inquiries if the PM prefers to parrot the fake stats spouted by the gambling lobby? Online gambling is grooming a new generation of gamblers. Stop with the excuses & ban online gambling ads now. #auspol #gamblingreform abc.net.au/news/2024-10-11/a…

"I am advised the Prime Minister was relying on a recollection of published material and that there are no documents or material in the possession of the Prime Minister or his office."
Great work from @DavidPocock

Absolutely appalling that during a period of national gambling reform, the organisation representing people with a lived experience of gambling harm cannot get a meeting with the PM or even a Minister. @ahbard on RN today. Full link below.

Older Australian women consume alcohol at high-risk levels, yet they are overlooked in public health responses. Check out our new open access paper where we explore the role of alcohol in the lives of older women and how we should respond👇

Public health initiatives should:
1. Address social contexts of older women's drinking
2. Develop targeted messaging to disrupt 'responsible drinking' narratives
3. Consider gender and age in alcohol policy &
4. Investigate industry marketing tactics targeting older women

Gambling ads invade every corner of our lives, luring in the most vulnerable with false promises. Young people should be dreaming about playing the games they love, not playing the odds. @Doc_Samantha joins the pod to share why gambling ads must go.

It’s time for the Australian government to create gambling policies that benefit and protect children and young people, not the interests of the gambling industry and their allies.

Professor Samantha Thomas tears apart the gambling industry's claims that age verification would stop the enormous harm gambling advertising does, especially to children & talks about how that harm is compounded by complicit governments like ours.

"I know that I am not alone in feeling concerned that the gambling industry has too much influence over the government."
