Episode “National shame”: Andrew Wilkie on the government’s gambling reforms

0:00 16:39

For more than a decade, Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has been talking about gambling addiction.

Now, as the government this week passed legislation aimed at reducing gambling harms, Wilkie is among an angry group of dissenters who say the bill is a “national shame”.
