The former Liberal MP Jenny Ware has criticized her former Coalition colleagues for supporting Labor's gambling legislation, asserting that "vulnerable Australians have been let down". Ware, who was a member of the Peta Murphy-led inquiry in 2023 that recommended a complete ban on wagering advertising and inducements, described gambling as a public health crisis that requires a more robust response from both political parties. The parliament, however, did not approve a full ban on wagering ads.
