澳大利亚国会议员敦促禁止赌博广告。 Australian MP urges ban on gambling ads amid rising harms, but no action taken despite strong public support.

2023年6月, 澳大利亚国会议员Peta Murphy(Peta Murphy)敦促阿尔巴内政府禁止赌博广告, 理由是吸毒成瘾、心理健康问题和金融伤害不断上升, In June 2023, Australian MP Peta Murphy urged the Albanese government to ban gambling advertising, citing rising addiction, mental health issues, and financial harm, but no action has been taken despite 75% public support for a total ban and 80% backing restrictions on digital, stadium, and uniform ads. 赌博公司声称赞助支持基层运动, 这一立场反映了大烟草公司过去抵制广告禁令的立场。 Gambling firms claim sponsorships support grassroots sports, a stance mirroring Big Tobacco’s past resistance to advertising bans. 澳大利亚在人均赌博支出方面居世界前列,每年超过300亿美元,经济紧张,与家庭暴力、犯罪和自杀有关。 Australia leads the world in per capita gambling spending—over $30 billion annually—amid economic strain, with links to family violence, crime, and suicide. 与烟草管制的历史相似之处表明,随着在禁止烟草广告后改编的体育运动,寻找替代筹资办法,工业影响是可以克服的。 Historical parallels with tobacco regulation show that industry influence can be overcome, as sports adapted after tobacco ads were banned, finding alternative funding. 公共卫生倡导者警告推迟行动有可能带来进一步伤害。 Public health advocates warn delaying action risks further harm.
