I absolutely value my @tafeeducation and want every other Australian to have the same opportunities I had.

The LNP have never supported TAFE. They denigrate TAFE graduates & attack our great public TAFE system at every opportunity. Shame on them. #RebuildWithTAFE

Here is my opinion piece in the Canberra Times today about my meeting with the PM's office this week and the impact the inaction on gambling advertising is causing.

[Anna Bardsley @ahbard]

Last day in PH Canberra for us, https://t.co/md6qi2I6Hj talking about #EndGamblingAds
We hope we’ve shifted the balance a little bit.
Please contact your local Fed member and add your voice to this. Email, phone, @AlboMP and Michelle Rowland. Do it today.

"I don't think you can claim to care about children in Australia and then not do something about implementing a complete ban on gambling advertising."

I spoke to @SteveCannane on RN this morning.

I'm sick of gambling industry, sporting code and media leaders holding sway over government gambling policy. Spare me the cries of apocalyptic losses if sensible reforms are introduced. For too long gambling interests have caused misery across every Australian postcode. Enough!

Storage company Tupperware filed for bankruptcy this week, after they couldn’t find a single fucking lid for any of the 10 million plastic containers in their warehouse. https://t.co/ACAdPDnmgU

Australia has a gambling problem and NSW leads the way. The problem is not people, it's the highly-addictive-designed-to-be-that-way products and the loose legislation that allows this level of exploitation. #PutPokiesInTheirPlace

[Jim Wackett @Jim_Wackett]

The people of NSW lost over $4.1 BILLION to pokies in the first six months of 2024. The pub barons' harbourside mansions are funded by the people of Western Sydney that the pubs' toxic business model preys upon. It's time to #PutPokiesInTheirPlace https://t.co/VpH0o71W42

Gambling apps nearly ruined my life. And Labor has chosen self-interest over protecting the vulnerable | Mark Kempster https://t.co/1F0nP2gyyy

[Anna Bardsley @ahbard]

I absolutlely agree we should protect children @AlboMP that's what #EndAllGamblingAds will do. That's why we must do it. Put a pause on the normalisation of gambling #ProtectOurKids

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Our plan to legislate a minimum age for social media will support parents and protect children.

[Anna Bardsley @ahbard]

@SquigglyRick Thank you is a small thing to say for what you have done, what you have put yourself through to do it. But, thank you. You're on my 'invite to dinner' list.

[Anna Bardsley @ahbard]

Another strong interview from @OffOdds. Those closest to the pain are closest to the solutions. It's past time for @AlboMP to meet with us.

Well said @OffOdds ‘I spoke at the Peta Murphy’s…inquiry into online gambling harm…to explain…how dangerous the current level of advertising by gambling companies is. I had hoped that this would have been the catalyst for change once they saw the harm this industry was causing
