Shownotes Transcript

Sports betting, online lotteries, or a cheeky slap at the pokies: gambling is a pervasive part of Australian life, with two in five gambling every week. It's a part of our culture that's social, but it can also can bring a lot of shame.

Guests:

  • Zoe Daniel, independent member for Goldstein
  • Dr Marty Mills-Bayne, senior lecturer in early childhood education, University of South Australia
