So, the implication is that entire lobby is just a distraction

There was a MP Peta Murphy 2023 push to ban gambling ads in Australia. Seems gambling industry decided to take over the narrative and deflect to banning social media for kids (who often dont have much money for gambling).

Por que no los dos tho?

Indeed, for gambling of all things. It makes me incredibly angry.

Also, the ability of one group of ad men, in one country, to start the dominoes falling is extremely noteworthy!
