total ban<\/a> on gambling ads as proposed by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs led by\u00a0Labor MP Peta Murphy. The proposal has faced resistance from media companies, betting operators, the NRL and AFL. Some expected that the Labor Party would water down that proposal, but it says it has yet to make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn October,\u00a0the Australian Greens party\u00a0<\/strong>submitted the Communications Legislation Amendment (Regional Broadcasting Continuity) Bill 2024, prompted by \u201ccontinued delays by the government\u201d in introducing the total ban. However, the bill was rejected in the Senate. The Greens plan to reintroduce it when parliament resumes in February.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nNew South Wales to ban gambling ads on public transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0New South Wales<\/strong> government is to introduce a ban on gambling ads on public transport in the state, including on trains, metro, buses and at train stations and ferry terminals. The ban will apply to internal and external ads. According to the Liquor and Gaming NSW, the ban will cover all casino, lottery, and online betting ads. Premier Chris Minns wants ads to be removed within 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen Transport does not own the assets (such as bus stops, retail outlets, or adjacent private properties), the NSW Government will work with the appropriate entities to explore how they will comply with the prohibition. There are currently 798 advertising boards at Sydney train stations, 49 road-facing digital billboards and adverts on up to 3,711 urban buses and 76 trams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
