The Albanese government faces the prospect of its gambling reforms being blocked in the Senate as Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young warns she will vote against the legislation unless ministers agree to tougher measures.
Ms Hanson-Young criticised the package as “full of holes” and said the Greens are not prepared to support the legalisation in its current form.
She argued that there was enough opposition within the Senate to force changes of the government’s proposal, including among Labor MPs.
Opposition communications spokesperson Sarah Henderson said last week that the Coalition would vote against the package in its current form.
She also said if the government wanted the Green’s support it should quit “playing games” and put vulnerable Australians first.
