Australia restricts gambling advertising across television, radio and sport

Australia’s government announced restrictions on gambling advertising, including a maximum of three television ads per hour between 6 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. and a ban during live sports programmes in that period. The rules are due to take effect on 1 January, but the source does not state the year; industry representatives criticised the lack of consultation, while reform advocates said the measures do not go far enough.
