Today marks 1,000 days since Peta Murphy’s landmark report calling for a banning of gambling advertisements. Independent MP Kate Chaney will soon seek to introduce her own private member’s bill to legislate a gambling ad ban, frustrated with the government’s drawn-out process to respond to the report.

Chaney said:

This is a deeply disappointing milestone to be marking – 1,000 days of delay and inaction on reforms widely supported by Australians.

I’m doing the work, even if the government is not. My private member’s bill to end online gambling ads is needed to stop children and young people being groomed to gamble as they watch their favourite sports.

I’ve been fighting for gambling reform for 1,000 days, and I’ll continue to keep the pressure on for as long as it takes the Albanese government to enact meaningful gambling reform.

We don’t want to discourage safe and healthy ebike use, but we do want to discourage dangerous and illegal e-motorbike use – and these powers will do exactly that.

If it behaves like a motorbike, it’s probably illegal and could end up in the crusher. So the message is simple, don’t buy an illegal ebike.
