Remove gambling ads from TV during children viewing times

The issue

In 1966 Australia banned cigarette advertising on TV, then, a few years later, alcohol was taken off our screens during Children viewing times. This is what I want done for gambling ads.

Children these days are being brought up with an idea that gambling is "okay" and "normal", this cannot continue. These kids are our worlds future and we need to fix this before it becomes a real problem.

This morning, I was sitting on my lounge eating my toast, watching the Today show; nothing unusual right? Well, In the space of half an hour channel 9 showed 5 Ladbroke ads! Noting at this time, it was 8 in the morning and children all around Australia were watching.

This is disgusting and I need you guys to help me by signing this petition, so we can get this sorted once and for all.
