Crossbench hopeful Liberals will step up on gambling bill Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says she the Coalition should work with the crossbench to make Labor’s gambling bill tougher, challenging the opposition leader, Angus Taylor, to “man up.” There is some optimism that Liberal MPs could convince Taylor to differentiate from Labor on the issue of gambling advertising and the growing harm sports betting is having in Australia. Liberals including Cook MP Simon Kennedy have already pushed for a tougher response. “The reason the government didn’t want this inquiry is because they didn’t want focus on how bad this legislation is,” Hanson-Young said. Labor members and Coalition members and senators are being bombarded every day from their constituents to say ‘put in place laws that protect us and stop protecting the gambling industry.’ We’re all hearing the same thing. The question is, do you have the guts to deliver it?
