My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Australia has been a world leader in protecting our young people from smoking and vaping. There is irrefutable evidence that gambling is also a serious public health threat, especially for our young people, through suicide, addiction and family breakdown. The public health community is united in its call for a complete ban on gambling advertising. As the health minister, will you heed the public health community's call and support a full ban on gambling advertising to protect our children from being preyed upon for profit?
