You might have heard that it’s Budget week [insert winky face emoji…], and while we’ve heard a lot about Labor’s plans, it was Coalition leader Peter Dutton’s opportunity to present his side last night. The new bit was a policy to push to ban sports betting ads for an hour on either side of and during the broadcast of sporting events. The ads “are changing the culture of our country in a bad way and normalising gambling at a young age,” Dutton says. It’s a proposal that will send a shiver down the spines of major sporting codes and TV networks that are heavily reliant on sports betting ads… Dutton also criticised Team Albanese for not planning appropriately to accommodate the 1.5 million migrants expected to come to Oz over the next 5 years. “It’s the biggest migration surge in our country’s history, and it’s occurring amid a housing and rental crisis,” he said. For that and more, the full speech is here.
