PoliticsFormer Liberal MP condemns Coalition over gambling reforms that ‘let down’ vulnerable Australians

Former Liberal MP Jenny Ware has condemned Coalition MPs for supporting Labor’s gambling reforms, saying parliament failed to deliver a full wagering-ad ban and vulnerable Australians were let down. Ware, who served on a 2023 inquiry, called gambling a public health crisis and said the legislation fell well short of its recommendations, including a national regulator and complete ad ban.
