Australians lose $35 billion to gambling every year. In this episode we speak with Prof. Samantha Thomas who expose the industry’s "tobacco-style" playbook that targets kids and normalises addiction. We discuss the landmark Murphy Report’s push for a total ad ban, and why the government is choosing to protect vested interests over Australian kids.
Listen at the link in bio/below and email your MP letting them know you support a full gambling ad ban.
