Australia loses around $25 billion to gambling each year, with online wagering designed to normalise betting and push repeated losses through ads and inducements. Startlingly, the system is left mostly to operator incentives, making harm part of the business model. Fusion's Rebuild Our Communities policy tackles this head-on: a full ban on gambling advertising and inducements, mandatory identity verification before betting starts, a legal duty of care on operators, and a federal regulator with serious enforcement powers. A national framework is the only way to stop this dodgy cross-border industry. We can end the normalisation of gambling harm and shift to a real prevention-first model. Join us to make it happen. #auspol #gamblingreform
