'Load of baloney': ex-Gambling boss calls for blanket ban
Manage episode 435106540 series 5428
As the Albanese government considers the gambling advertising ban it will eventually bring in, Stewart Kenny - one of the pioneers of online sports betting - has issued a warning to the Government.
He told RN Breakfast "quite simply, if you want to protect the children, you go ahead with a total ban. If you want to protect bookmakers profits, you go ahead with a partial ban". The Paddy Power co-founder has labelled the arguments from the gambling lobby that a total ban would move gambling to offshore illegal providers "a load of baloney" - saying he used to use the same argument all the time when he was a gambling lobbyist.
