A new poll from The Australia Institute think tank found that 70% of Australians agreed with the suggestion that gambling adverts on TV should be banned.
The online survey asked a nationally weighted sample of over 1,000 people whether they agreed or disagreed with five statements about banning certain types of TV advertising. A total of 11% disagreed that gambling ads should be banned.
When broken down by gender, the survey found that 70% of males agreed that there should be a ban, compared to 72% of females.
And when considering age, the results showed that 69% of those aged 18-29 agreed, with figures of 64% and 70% for those aged 30-39 and 40-49 respectively. And the totals for respondents aged 50-59 and 60+ were 69% and 78% respectively.
