Kids to see gambling ads despite Labor laws
Despite Labor's legislative changes aimed at reducing gambling ad exposure to children, kids may still see these ads during late-night sports broadcasts. Critics argue that the reforms are insufficient and do not adequately protect young viewers. The federal government plans to implement these restrictions by January 2027, but concerns remain about the effectiveness of the measures.
