Seselja是十年来倡导变革的倡导者,他说Wells强调,改革工作应侧重于说服从赌博中获利的公司、广播公司和体育组织而不是受害者。 Seselja, a decade-long advocate for change, said Wells emphasized that reform efforts should focus on persuading wagering companies, broadcasters, and sports organizations that profit from gambling, rather than on victims. 交流强调了对系统性赌博改革仍然停滞不前的持续关切,主张者认为商业利益继续掩盖公共卫生需求,有意义的变革需要政府问责,而不是依赖行业自我监管。 The exchange underscores ongoing concerns that systemic gambling reform remains stalled, with advocates arguing that commercial interests continue to overshadow public health needs and that meaningful change requires government accountability, not reliance on industry self-regulation.
