DEEP DIVE: We hear from the gambling lobby and anti-gambling advocates

Gambling reform has been on the political agenda for years. Now, after days of negotiations, the government has finally pushed the laws through Parliament.

But not everyone's celebrating. Gambling harm advocates say the reforms don't go far enough, while the betting industry reckons it should be trusted to manage risk with its own punters.

So, will the new laws actually protect people from gambling harm? And how much power should the gambling industry have?

In this week's deep dive, we hear from both sides of the fight over Australia's new gambling laws.

Guests:

• Kai Cantwell, CEO, Responsible Wagering Australia
• Mark Kempster, advocate, Alliance for Gambling Reform
