Socceroos match shows where Labor's gambling ad laws fall short

• There should be rules against jumping on the World Cup bandwagon to illustrate a political point, but the Socceroos' valiant effort against Egypt offers a timely real-world test.
• The live television broadcast featured two advertisements for gambling in the minutes before kick-off, including the promotion of lucrative odds on a "same day multi" bet for the game watched by millions of Australians.
• For those who slept through their alarms and were left to catch up via streaming would also have seen plenty of wagering ads.
