About this episode
Nearly three years after a major report calling for a ban on gambling advertising, the Prime Minister has finally announced proposed reforms.
But advocates have slammed the announcement and reckon it doesn't go far enough.
Plus, we hear from someone who has been travelling around the country to speak with some of Australia's most vulnerable young people.
Why? To get them to write letters directly to the Prime Minister.
