138: What are the odds: gambling ads and Makarrata
Episode description
OUTRAGE as Greens-aligned comedian makes a joke that the media deliberately pretends is an opinion (and it’s not about Tom for once). Emerald and Tom go over the Labor government’s brave choice to be cowards about gambling advertising reform (8:25). Next up, why has the government bravely decided to ditch a Makratta truth-telling commission? (36:57) Finally, a call to action (1:00:52).
