PoliticsAustralia politics live: Labor seeks parliamentary deals on NDIS, gambling ads and news reforms

Australia’s parliament has returned, with Labor seeking Coalition support to pass several pieces of legislation. The negotiations cover the National Disability Insurance Scheme, gambling advertising and reforms concerning news bargaining. Independent MP Kate Chaney says discussions on gambling reform appear disappointing. She argues the government is listening to the gambling industry’s “money and power” rather than the public. Chaney warns that restrictions could simply shift advertising money around, as happened after earlier partial limits.
