Should we bring back tobacco advertising to save broadcast media? I didn’t think so. Once it’s done we will never look back. #gamblingreform #auspol

Albanese govt’s transition from fossil fuels getting results as emissions fall & Australia’s big battery market grows beyond expectations. New big battery projects already approaching their 2024 forecasts & likely to exceed that #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/big-battery-ma…

Partial gambling ad ban in Belgium shows: -Media is fine, -Gambling companies find loopholes, -A strong regulator is needed, -No evidence that people move to illegal sites. Let’s learn from others and implement a full ban. Its not too late. #auspol #gamblingreform

“... that News Corp ‘Bush Summit’ travelled right around the country, with a shindig in each state, for the city tabloids to swoon over. And Dr Rinehart, as she is now known, was the star act. No doubt because she paid for it — or most of it …” #MediaWatch

High level of support for online gambling ad ban is encouraging. Also worth noting low levels of opposition (with just 4% "strongly" opposed).

Thank you WHO. I’m a doctor. The evidence is clear and unequivocal. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are a major health hazard. Premature deaths. Serious diseases. Most are unaware of the risks. For many reasons including health we need to transition away from fossil fuels ASAP.

Two Rocks residents are fighting to stop the development of a drive-through 24-hour McDonalds in their coastal suburb, with 380 complaints opposing the development and many on the grounds of health. It's time that we put health before profits and listen to community.

They claim their new product can likely reduce the risk of lung cancer. History and evidence tells us otherwise. Read the blog. #Exposetobacco bit.ly/3VJrE6o

For Tobacco, Alcohol, and Gambling political lobbying and influence is the main game. Australians lead the world when it comes to gambling and this is what's behind our addiction abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0… via ABC Australia

GDP growth remains pathetically weak; unemployment is rising; inflation is back to target. Time for the RBA to revamp its outlook. Current forecasts are wrong wrong and wrong. My Two Minute Take

They claim their new product reduces harm, but history and evidence suggest otherwise. Read the blog to learn why you should be skeptical. ➡️ bit.ly/3VJrE6o #Exposetobacco

Australia wears the Gambling Loser crown Why? Bc the gambling industry has been handed a free pass - free for all - when it comes to advertising The biggest rise in recent years is amongst young men who have been targeted relentlessly by online advertising #BanGamblingAds

"If we're going to import gas, that is a huge failure of public policy...to require the gas companies to reserve gas to suit Australia's domestic needs. "This will make us the laughing stock of the world." - Former South Australian Premier Hon Mike Rann
