In a statement, Responsible Wagering Australia - the peak body for betting agencies - said the new measures are “draconian” and set a “dangerous precedent”.
So a step in the right direction.
“Today it’s gambling advertising, tomorrow it’s alcohol, then it’s sugary drinks, fast food, critical minerals and who knows what else comes next,” chief executive Kai Cantwell said.
Where were their “draconian” virtue signals when the government colluded with surveillance capitalist techno-fascists to force Australians to hand over their identity to big brother to use social media?
Oh, that’s right. They only exist for greed and exploitation; they only believe what they’re paid to believe.
So a step in the right direction.
Yes. Please yes.

Agreed! I’m struggling to see what the problem is with less maccas and coke adds

Hell yeah. Love when they squirm and try and create fear.

Ahh, the ol’ “slippery slope” logical fallacy. You can dismiss statements like those. You don’t even need to debate it.
