Peta Murphy was serious about protecting young Australians from gambling industry harm. The government’s proposed reforms fail the Murphy test. theconversation.com/small-and-un...

Yes! Please listen to young people! My son (only just voting age!) is astonished at the gambling culture among his peers. It’s inescapable. It’s already ‘worse’. Gambling is like a contagious infectious disease. The gambling industry like an obnoxious mosquito.

‘Do something about it before it gets worse’: young people want government action on gambling reform
As gambling companies increasingly target young people, many are becoming frustrated by a lack of government action to protect them from gambling harms.

We should never seek compromises when it comes to the health and wellbeing of children. Especially when kids themselves tell us that they want the government to take strong action on gambling ads to protect them from the tactics of the gambling industry. Why are we ignoring their voices?

Disappointing to see the Greens supporting a partial gambling ad ban. Partial bans enable the gambling industry to fuel demand for their products through a permissive approach to advertising. They DO NOT protect children and young people. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The Greens have been pushing for a complete ban but now say they will support a partial ban to wind back the volume of gambling ads on television and online.

And from me in particular - as so many of the papers in this special issue show, we need to make sure we have an intergenerational lens on the CDoH. We must do better to engage young people in the decisions that are made about their futures. 🙏

But we must also ask ourselves what is the future that we envisage for the CDoH field, and what role does this play in improving health and wellbeing for all? Some of these discussions are challenging but they are important as they will create a foundation of trustworthiness in the CDoH community.
