Stop raving on as the clear facts are that a bunch of daft wokey loonies in Canberra are pushing a wheel barrow full of their own egos on the back of a Sports Ad ban. They do not even acknowledge Fat Food Ads are more dangerous to our youth than the Sports ad. The most disturbing aspect of this is that they were voted into Canberra by people whose heads are so far up you know where . One hopes that they stay up there until the next election has been held. By your posts you most probably are one of them.

It sounds like you need a big bucket of KFC. Withdrawal symptoms?
There is a ban on fast food ads in Australia when 1/4 of the viewers are under 15. Same as the restrictions on alcohol advertising.
Sport survived the ban on tabacco advertising. It will survive this one. The only people to suffer is those gamblers who are so old that if they aren't reminded to bet every 10 mins, they'll forget.
Kids as young as 5yo knowing the betting odds of a team to win is just plain wrong.

Yep, the squealing when tobacco ads were banned was huge, many sports affected and survive to this day.
Can't see a problem with banning fast food ads either, not sure what those places sell anyway, haven't been to any of McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks etc for well over 30 years and have no intention of going any time soon. If I want a burger I'll go to the local chippy.

Oi. How about you leave me out of this conversation. I'm old enough to be told where I want to lose my money n support the computer networks of the gambling agencies.
Been retired gracefully since 1998 when retrenched en masse by Department of Defence (Navy). Last time had Kentucky Duck 1976. Macca's did work for them at Mandurah WA (maintenance ) before shop closed for financial reasons 1984. Only ate the ice cream. Freezer trucks pulled up every Monday Friday. They even tried to freeze the lettuce but it did not work. Last Hungry Jacks I ate was last century & the egg was partly frozen. Love a burger so make my own own. It is hard to buy a burger that has no garlic in it.
Well that'd be bloody useless Balooga. I didn't like your previous thought n I'm an atheist as well. Perhaps it'd be more useful if you'd lend me a tenner, I've got a hot tip in the 2nd at Caulfield that'll set up my afternoons dabble.
I've got a tip in the last at Caulfield, Itchy Arse, if it's not scratched it'll win.
Better tell the jockey not to push to hard early or skid marks might show some prominent placement late.
" Kids as young as 5 etc etc etc " ?. Any sane person would believe that is a load of codswallop but then for those the chosen few the cow jumped over the moon.
Willo do you honestly think kids as young as five years of age know sports betting odds of AFL teams ?.
I don’t know. I don’t talk odds, I don’t bet on football games. It would never occur to me to ever discuss sports betting with five year olds.
Do many? I have no idea.
Do any? I’m not in that circle so I couldn’t say.
Are they able to? Nothing surprises me much, given how kids that young can navigate computers, iPads, mobile phones etc
