My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Communications, Senator Farrell. Minister, the parliament passed 355 bills in the last parliament, the 47th Parliament. There are a hundred bills in front of the current parliament. I think there are 16 bills in this afternoon's guillotine alone. None of those bills deals with banning gambling advertising, which was a recommendation over two years ago by the Murphy report. Minister, given we've had so much time for all these other things, I'm interested to know: when will the government actually get around to introducing legislation that bans all gambling ads over three years, in line with a recommendation from the Murphy report?
