Senate debates Questions without Notice

Gambling Advertising

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?
