Young people and their networks should have a say on stuff that impacts them! With over 75% of Australian’s wanting a ban on gambling ads, I reckon there’s a lot of people who would be keen to have a say on how this impacts young people.

This week Alliance Interim CEO Martin Thomas and took a stand in parliament, advocating for stronger measures to prevent gambling-related suicides. The normalisation of gambling means it is often overlooked as an underlying source of harm and is underported as a cause of suicide.
A very sad day. Vale.
We are devastated by the news that Peta Murphy MP (@petajan) has passed. Such a passionate and committed champion for gambling reform.

Well done to my @MonashCouncil colleague @CrStuartJames for calling at gambling harm and the need for reform.

At a @HumeCityCouncil gambling policy workshop hosted by Mayor Joseph Haweil, participating community organisations came up with 19 different types/categories of gambling. Did you get these?
I was astounded at how quickly a small group of people game up with 19 different types of gambling. Do you know the 19 different types?

And no delay! The community is fed up with the harm they know is being done by gambling.
31 recommendations from the online gambling inquiry including a comprehensive ban on gambling ads, national regulator and gambling harm strategy must be implemented by the federal government.
