Gambling advertising

I think some of those buses are owned by the state government but leased to the private operators. I could be wrong.

There are also private bus companies in Sydney (e.g. CDC) which operate bus services on behalf of Transport for NSW.

That’s what I meant. I didn’t know if the buses were leased or if they provided the workers or not.

God they are stupid.

All the negatives of the scare campaign running anyway because they might do it post election, but no benefit from actually acting.

Agreed. Honestly what’s wrong with just going all in and banning it? It’s not like they’ll lose voters because of it anyway, quite the contrary particularly given the election will be on cost of living and minimising the reach of gambling will help with that somewhat. They’ve literally trashed the late Peta Murphy’s legacy which was her report on gambling.

I suspect the likes of V’Landys are pulling the strings again BTS.

Of course it is. PVL just loves the gambling.

Don’t discount the more directly impacted - both the betting and commercial media companies are very big lobbyers of Government (both directly and through lobbyists).

The inaction is a strong suggestion that whatever is going on in the background is working to get the Government to walk the reform back.

The Greens have written to Labor to offer their support for a partial ban on sports betting advertisements, after previously pushing for a full ban.

Labor has stalled on its promise to wind back gambling ads after resistance from industry, frustrating a number of its own backbenchers.
