💨 Abstract

Australian politicians received A$245,000 in free match tickets from popular sports leagues over 21 months as part of a lobbying campaign against an online gambling ad ban. The gifts, mostly to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton, were reported to the government and totaled more than the previous parliamentary term, despite COVID-19 shutdowns.
