What are your thoughts on this? Seems to me a long overdue discussion for the government to have. The ads are out of control.

They're shit ads.

There's nothing witty or entertaining or in anyway good about having to sit through a fuckin' gambling ad. Oh, look, it's three NIDA drop-outs with North Shore accents doing the best (ie, shithouse) attempt at some dinky-di fair-go-cobber accents and lingo that some MBA from the Eastern suburbs advertising agency is Authentic Tradie Ockerese, because that's who they're targeting.
