Donna Demaio: Australia Correspondent on the calls to ban gambling ads in Australia

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The Australian Government is facing calls to go further with proposed restrictions on gambling ads.

It's looking to ban ads during sports broadcasts, during children's programming, and online.

Australia correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge minor parties are also backing the ball, particularly the Greens.
