Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.

On the appalling story of Derek Elias, who has spent four years trying to alert the government to the bad things happening at Home Affairs

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?
In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.
