Australian government reportedly delays gambling advertising reforms to 2025
The Australian government reportedly plans to defer finalising federal gambling advertising reforms until 2025, with opposition from media and sports interests cited as a factor. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese defended a proposed approach that would limit advertising around sports events, cap television ads at two an hour and restrict online targeting; the government had not presented a definitive proposal.
Operators and media businesses face uncertainty over the timing and possible scope of federal advertising rules.
