Former Liberal MP criticizes Coalition for supporting gambling reforms

21 Ağustos 2026The Guardian

Former Liberal MP Jenny Ware has criticized her party's support for Labor's gambling reforms, arguing that vulnerable Australians have been let down. She was part of an inquiry that called for a complete ban on wagering advertising, labeling gambling as a public health crisis.
Ware emphasizes that both major political parties need to take stronger action to address this issue.
The inquiry led by Peta Murphy in 2023 aimed to address the rising concerns around gambling and its impact on society. The failure to implement a full ban on wagering ads reflects ongoing tensions between political parties and their approaches to public health crises.
Ware's condemnation highlights a growing divide within Australian politics regarding the handling of gambling issues. Her call for a more robust response suggests that public sentiment may be shifting towards demanding greater accountability from lawmakers.
