Peta Murphy called for gambling reform three years ago. Her husband says Labor’s changes fall ‘well short’

Three years ago, Peta Murphy, a late Labor MP, advocated for gambling reform, which she believed was necessary to curb the negative impacts of the industry. Regrettably, her husband, Rod Glover, argues that the government's recent gambling reform measures are not nearly as comprehensive as what his wife had envisioned. Mr. Glover, who expressed mixed emotions about the proposed changes, commended Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Minister Anika Wells for the alterations that he believes could help mitigate the harmful effects of gambling.

However, he lamented that the reforms were enacted too late and could have been more extensive in fulfilling Peta Murphy's original recommendations, which included a complete prohibition on gambling advertisements and inducements.
