My question is to the Prime Minister. I've recently had conversations with a significant number of government backbenchers who want a gambling advertising ban, which is unanimously endorsed in the cross-party Murphy report. So, as I asked in my personal appeal to you a fortnight ago, will you allow government members a free vote on this issue so they can exercise their own judgement, represent their communities and finally end this impasse?

I thank the member for Clark for his question and for his genuine engagement on this issue. Our Labor caucus makes decisions, which is why we have done more than any government since Federation to tackle problem gambling. We'll continue to work as a caucus and as a government on this issue.
