In this week’s episode, Sarah says the predatory inducements used by the gambling industry makes them groomers. She is in the midst of a parliamentary inquiry into the government’s gambling ad ban bill where people with lived experience have told devastating stories of these very companies buying problem gamblers escorts, hotel rooms and drugs to get them gambling more money for longer. The parliament must work together to ban gambling ads, and also ban these dangerous and harmful inducements. 

Sarah’s special guest this week is Abby Martin, an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker from the US. Abby is in Australia showing her new film Earth Greatest Enemy which reveals the  link between the US  military and its impact on the climate and our environment. Sarah reveals how shocked she was by aspects of the film even as an environmentalist and asks why don’t more people know about what the military gets away with from the killing, climate impacts and billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer money spent and why Australians should care, too.
