Minister, I want to return to evidence based policymaking, or the lack thereof. We had the Murphy report, which everyone agrees was a landmark inquiry. The report was unanimously backed by the parliament, backed in by experts and pointed to by the community as what they wanted the parliament to do. The government have tied themselves in knots not to do that.

One of the commitments they have made, though, is to end family and domestic violence in a generation. They commissioned the rapid review, and the rapid review came back with the report titled Unlocking the prevention potential: accelerating action to end domestic, family and sexual violence. It recommended 'stronger restrictions leading to a total ban on advertising of gambling'. If you won't implement the Murphy report because you say we don't need to, because we just need to get the balance right instead, how are we going to end family and domestic violence in a generation? How, if you won't implement the findings of your own rapid review that said that gambling contributed to family and domestic violence and that there should be a full gambling ad ban?
