The media giant argues that any restrictions on wagering advertising must apply uniformly across all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Australia.- Nine Entertainment<\/strong>, Australia\u2019s largest media conglomerate, has called on the national government to provide financial compensation<\/strong> if its proceeds with a ban or severe restrictions on gambling advertising. Company chair Catherine West<\/strong> told shareholders at the company\u2019s annual general meeting that Nine had been in discussions with policymakers, emphasising the need for a \u201cfair, across-the-board\u201d approach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West argued that limiting advertising only on traditional broadcasters, while leaving digital and social media platforms unaffected, would unfairly penalise Australian media companies and redirect ad spending offshore. \u201cIf we are banned from having gambling advertising, there are two things we would ask for: some type of compensation, and most importantly, fairness across all sectors,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent MP Kate Chaney<\/strong> has suggested that any losses in media and sporting revenues could be offset through a 0.5 per cent levy on every dollar wagered<\/strong>. \u201cIf it\u2019s about media revenue, that\u2019s a problem that can be solved,\u201d Chaney said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public support for a ban on gambling advertising<\/strong> remains high, with polls showing that roughly three in four Australians favour such a move. It’s expected that legislation could be introduced by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n
