#Albo has pulled out of a meeting with Australian cricketer #UsmanKhawaja at parliament today.

The two were supposed to meet to discuss #gamblingads, & the war in #Gaza, before a roundtable discussion on gambling with public health experts and doctors.

Khawaja tells journalists in Parliament House that he’s disappointed and hopes the cancellation is just a “scheduling conflict”.

@drrimmer I completely agree with Mike Freelander—it's truly appalling that the government would prioritise briefing lobbyists over its own caucus on such an important issue. The influence of the gambling industry on policy is a major concern, and it seems Labor is indeed being "softened up." The public deserves strong and decisive action against gambling ads, particularly on TV and social media, where they can have a harmful impact, especially on vulnerable communities. It’s high time the government put people’s well-being ahead of industry interests.#GamblingAds #PolicyReform #PublicHealth #StopTheSpin #PeopleOverProfits #AusPol
