39123 (2026). Mike Davidson to the Minister of Internal Affairs: What advice, briefings, documents or correspondence has the Minister, or any member of her office, received on the development of the regulations for the Online Casino Gambling Act released in June 2026, and what approaches were made to stakeholders to have input into the development of the regulations, if any?

Hon Brooke van Velden: Briefings related to the development of the regulations for the Online Casino Gambling Act will be proactively released shortly and made available on the Department’s website. I am unable to provide all information in scope of this question in the timeframe required to respond to a written parliamentary question. In accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and therefore the expense of undertaking this exercise is such that providing an answer to the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
