This is public correspondence to the Prime Minister criticizing the government's decision not to implement parliamentary committee recommendations for a comprehensive gambling advertising ban. The correspondent, identifying as a reformed gambler, argues there is public support for such restrictions and contends similar bans in other jurisdictions have not harmed sports funding. The letter also raises concerns about Minister Michelle Rowland accepting gifts including lunches and event tickets from gambling companies, questioning whether this aligns with government transparency commitments. The correspondence does not contain infrastructure, transport, or regional development project information relevant to the Department's typical FOI disclosures.
