Four Corners report alleges governance failures at Northern Territory gambling regulator
An ABC Four Corners investigation broadcast on 6 October alleged conflicts of interest and regulatory shortcomings at the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission, which oversees online gambling. The report said the commission has no permanent staff and found that one-third of 170 published investigation findings since 2017 led to action against bookmakers. It also said the commission had not cancelled or suspended an operator’s licence for disciplinary reasons.
The investigation’s allegations about staffing and enforcement raise questions for operators subject to Northern Territory oversight and licensing.
