Yes, SBS have made clear their support for the spirit and intention of the new advertising restrictions for gambling. I don't believe that this legislation would be a dagger to the heart of SBS independence; it would simply be the consistent application of law to all online platforms. Independence for the public broadcasters means that they have legislated protection from the government of the day seeking to direct their editorial and programming decisions. This legislation doesn't seek to do that. Public broadcasters always have to operate within the parameters that the parliament determines. This is not something that would impinge on their independence.
