Labor faces resistance from backbenchers and the Greens, who are calling for a complete ban
The Albanese government is planning to cap gambling ads during general TV programming, despite opposition from its backbench and a fresh push for a total ban by the Greens.
Freelander, a paediatrician and the member for Macarthur in south-west Sydney, said his view was that a total ban would be “most appropriate from a public health point of view”.

were prepared to accept a ban, major sporting codes and media companies lobbied the government for a softer cap due to concerns about withdrawing a major source of revenue that may not be easily replaced by other advertisers.
