To the Prime Minister: following on from the member for Wentworth's question on Tuesday and the very vague answer received from the minister, to be very clear, will the government ban be true to the Murphy report and ban all inducements in gambling and gambling advertising to protect Australians from the predatory gambling industry?

I refer to the minister's answer of this week, and I refer also to the measures that we've put before the Australian people. I went to the National Press Club and announced what our policies were, and I note that people then, when we came back into parliament, said that somehow that was hidden. It's a strange way to hide it—going to the National Press Club! That's what being accountable is all about. We're taking action. We're taking action when it comes to problem gambling, more than any government in Australian history has. With the next comprehensive level of reforms, we'll continue to engage, and I'll continue to engage with people on the crossbenches and across the parliament, as we have.
