Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Gambling Advertising Gambling Advertising The Hon. C. BONAROS Legislative Council Gambling Advertising The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:35): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Attorney and/or the Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, who he represents, a question about gambling advertising during broadcasts of sports events. Leave granted. The Hon. C. BONAROS Legislative Council The Hon. C. BONAROS: Yesterday, the Australian Communications and Media Authority put out a media release detailing the findings of the regulator's investigation into the apparent broadcast of gambling advertising on commercial television during practice round 1 one of the Formula One Australian Grand Prix on 22 March 2024. Conclusively, the investigation found that Network 10 (Sydney) breached the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice, which mandates that gambling promotions cannot be shown during broadcasts of sporting events between 5am and 8.30pm, including five minutes before or after the event. This follows a separate 2024 investigation which found the streaming service 10 Play, provided by Network 10, to have breached online gambling regulations during two livestreamed soccer events. Keeping in mind that it is Channel 10 Sydney that the ACMA media release refers to, my question to the Attorney is: are we aware of any similar breaches to the SA gambling advertising codes in this jurisdiction during major sporting events? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Special Minister of State The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:37): I thank the honourable member for her question. I think she correctly identified that the minister responsible for gambling as it pertains to South Australian regulation is the Hon. Andrea Michaels, Minister for Consumer and Business Services. I am not aware, but I am happy to pass that on to see if there is an answer to be brought back about any awareness of the circumstances in which the honourable member outlines.
