> Liberal and National MPs have cautioned opposition leader Angus Taylor against excessive regulation in negotiations with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Some Coalition lawmakers argued that rules that go too far would undermine the balance around personal responsibility, while others pressed for tougher measures. Taylor and Albanese continued talks on Tuesday about advancing Labor’s bill to restrict online gambling advertising. Possible areas for agreement include betting inducements and tighter limits on advertising hours.
