Anthony Chisholm

I present six government responses to committee reports as listed on today's Order of Business. In accordance with the usual practice, I see…

That's absorbed. The Senate transcript was published up to 20:00. The remainder of the transcript will be published progressively as it is…

From 1 January, if a platform wanted to have gambling advertising, they'd have to have the triple lock option available on their website. It…

We believe that the global opt-out register would take about 12 months, but we will have the platforms having to make available the opt-out…

I can provide a bit of detail on the statutory review in three years time. We will include a statutory review mechanism to assess the operat…

I believe it's just that the government believes that three years was the appropriate time to get the right amount of data to ensure that we…

Apologies, Senator Scarr. It is only the 15 minutes before the live sporting event, not the 15 minutes after. The other thing I'd point to i…

That would be the case, but, as I've been reiterating as we've discussed some of these, you do need to look at these reforms in the overall…

It's getting into hypothetical territory, but— Senator Hanson-Young I0U This is what the whole thing is about. Se…

It's getting a little bit technical in terms of how it applies. My understanding is that the Olympic Games would be covered as live sport. I…

Yes, that's essentially correct, Senator Scarr, but the point I was making before, which is applicable, is that this needs to be seen across…

Thanks, Senator Scarr. I think the key point with this is that under this legislation—and we've always been very clear that this is about st…

Senator Scarr, I don't know if you were here when Senator David Pocock went to some of these matters around free TV or broadcast TV issues.…

I can say that it would be appropriate for the SBS to be subject to the same rules as its competitors. In terms of the reforms that apply to…

My understanding is that the ABC does not show ads of any type but that the SBS do show ads, as they operate on a level playing field with o…

Thanks for the high praise, Senator Hanson-Young. The TEMPORARY CHAIR e5x Do we have any other speakers? No? We have befor…

I'm sure the Minister for Communications has been very busy and focused on getting this legislation through the parliament. I also believe t…

You're completely wrong, Senator Hanson-Young. I've listened to your commentary on this matter for a couple of hours now, which has been dri…

We obviously have a different approach as part of this bill, but we believe it will be incredibly effective in terms of holding these bettin…

That is my understanding—that they are licensed by states and territories. But I would reiterate the strong provisions under the bill in ter…

I'll leave commentary on the Northern Territory commission to the Northern Territory parliament, as they're the ones responsible for its adm…

I can only reiterate what I said before. We're talking about Commonwealth law. We're in the federal parliament. We do believe that this stre…

I'll leave commentary on the Northern Territory regulator to the Northern Territory government. ACMA will monitor and enforce these laws. Th…

Unless they offer a triple lock.

My understanding is that if the AFL wanted to show wagering advertising, they would have to offer a triple-lock system. If they cannot offer…

My understanding is that the AFL website would have to provide the option of the triple-lock system for all users.

If they wanted to see gambling ads, they'd have to be age assured— Senator CHISHOLM 39801 Just let me finish. They'd have…

My understanding, Senator Hanson-Young, is they'd be required to be triple locked.

I'll see if we can find access to it and provide it.

I might be able to provide some helpful information, Senator Pocock. My understanding is that part of those numbers is based on a Queensland…

Thanks, Senator Pocock. No, I'm unable to help you on that, but I do know that the legislation before us tonight will be really important. I…

No, I don't believe that's the case, Senator Pocock, and it's always very difficult to respond to questions like that when you haven't seen…

I think when you look at the history of these matters and how impactful they've been—it's always hard to respond to a question like that, wh…

What is absolutely in no doubt is that this law strengthens the role that ACMA can play, which is the appropriate regulator at the national…

I mentioned that I talked through what was in the bill and that the minister, by legislative instrument, may determine indicators for other…

This will be a new system at the Commonwealth level that will ensure consistency for gambling companies. We believe it is important reform a…

I just want to table a correction to the revised explanatory memorandum relating to the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bil…

The list I read out before is some of the specifics that are contained in the bill itself. Further indicators will be made by the minister f…

To provide a bit more of an example that might be helpful, Sarah Hanson-Young, that is being prepared—escalating wagering expenditure, the n…

Thanks, Senator Hanson-Young. All I can do is reiterate the points I made before. The government will set the indicators for red flags, not…

Thanks, Senator Pocock. I disagree with your assessment of the reforms. I think they are meaningful. They will make a difference. They'll be…

Thanks, Senator Pocock, for the question. I think there are a number of key areas where this applies. The ban 15 minutes before live sport a…

The overall goal was to reduce advertising, and that's what this bill does. It does it across, as I mentioned before, a whole range of areas…

As I said, we think this gets the balance right in ensuring that fewer ads will be available. The frequency cap works alongside other restri…

In my view, they're about doing both. That's substantially what we've tried to achieve, through this package, and I think that's what we're…

So 8.30 pm is the watershed that the broadcasters currently subscribe to under the rules. That was part of the thinking as well. Obviously,…

As I explained before, Senator Pocock, the OzTAM data says child audiences decrease after 8.30 pm. If we can provide some more information a…

I don't have that data, sorry.

My understanding is that OzTAM data says that child audiences decrease after 8.30.

Senator Pocock, I understand you put this question at the start as well. The broad objective of this is to reduce exposure. That's why we se…
