Is the gambling industry's massive shake-up a genuine reform or just moving the goalposts?

We’re joined by Adam Creighton, Chief Economist at the Institute of Public Affairs, to break down the economic stories shaping Australia this week. From a fundamental overhaul of wagering advertising to the "double squeeze" hitting university students, we’re cutting through the headlines to see who really wins and who pays the price.


The Gambling Overhaul: With major ad bans starting in 2027, we look at the compliance burden on media and whether this will actually curb gambling or just shift it elsewhere.


The Student Squeeze: We analyze the 29% surge in living costs for uni students and ask if our current funding model is pricing an entire generation out of their degrees.


Amazon vs. The ACCC: Why has the consumer watchdog taken the streaming giant to Federal Court? We discuss the "unfair" contract terms that have millions of Prime subscribers up in arms.
