NDIS Minister Bill Shorten says Australia is in a “wicked situation” of relying on gambling ads to keep the Australian media afloat.Speaking last night on ABC’s Q&A program, Shorten defended the government’s approach to a partial ban of gambling ads.
“Now some of you might say ‘well bugger them, just don’t worry, you don’t need free to air media’ and it’s fair to say that a lot of us don’t watch free to air media much … free to air media is in diabolical trouble and that is the discussion which we are not having.”Shorten’s comments come while Labor and Coalition MPs have thrown their support behind a blanket ban on gambling advertising, this masthead reported, stepping up a challenge in parliament.
