Usman Khawaja urges Australia to ban gambling advertising in sport
Cricketer Usman Khawaja called on Australia’s federal government to end gambling’s links with sport, including advertising, during an event at Parliament House. He said the government had moved too slowly on gambling reform and argued that a full ban was needed to protect young people; the government has proposed a television advertising cap instead, while talks on legislation have reopened.
Any change to gambling advertising rules would affect operators’ ability to promote betting through Australian sport.
