00:01The reforms that we've announced today are really substantial, and as you heard the PM
00:06say at the NPC, they're the most meaningful and significant reforms in online gambling
00:10harm since the last trench of most meaningful and significant reforms in online gambling
00:15harm, which we did announce in the first term.
00:17Okay.
00:18You're limiting the number of gambling ads to three an hour.
00:22So that means kids, presumably, who have the television on might see up to three an hour.
00:28You wouldn't accept them seeing three an hour for tobacco, for instance, for smoking.
00:34Why is it okay for three gambling ads an hour?
00:37Well, a couple of nuances to that.
00:38That is outside of live sport broadcasts, so not when you and your family are sitting down
00:43to watch the pies.
00:44And there's also the option of you watching on a streamer.
00:47So ABC iview, for example, SBS On Demand, if you watch AFL on 7 Plus, you will have the
00:52option to opt out of any gambling advertising if you watch through there.
00:55More than the majority of Australians now watch on smart TVs, which means that no matter what
01:00time of day, you will never see them.
