Australia politics: Greens criticize Labor-Coalition gambling ad deal

The Australian Greens have criticized a bipartisan Labor-Coalition agreement on gambling advertising laws, with spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young dismissing the proposed opt-out system as impractical and demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of how the internet works. The criticism suggests the deal may be more of a political smokescreen than an effective policy solution. An academic study also found that former Prime Minister Julia Gillard faced unprecedented levels of opposition questioning during her tenure.
