My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Communications, Senator McAllister. This morning on Radio National, a woman who was referred to as 'Kate' shared the story of her brother, a 24-year-old man who tragically took his own life because he could not escape the predatory tactics of the gambling industry. She gave evidence to the Murphy inquiry, and she is asking the government to heed its findings and put in place a full ban on gambling advertising. She doesn't want other families to experience the awful loss that hers has. But, after a year of hearing nothing, she is asking: 'What is it going to take?' Minister, can you answer Kate's question and tell us: what is it going to take for the government to listen to the evidence and ban all gambling advertising?
