Former Liberal Member of Parliament Jenny Ware has criticized her former Coalition colleagues for supporting gambling legislation introduced by the Labor party. As The Guardian reports, Ware argues that vulnerable Australians have been let down because parliament did not support a total ban on wagering advertisements. Ware, who served on a twenty twenty-three inquiry that recommended ending such ads and inducements, describes gambling as a public health crisis.
