Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (15:08): In answer to the member's question, let me say this: we will bring to the parliament the biggest package of changes for problem gambling ever enacted by a national parliament in our nation's history. I also say in respect of the member's question that, yes, of course, the government looked to bring mandatory precommitment legislation to the parliament and it was apparent to me that that legislation would not pass the parliament because— Mr Pyne: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: the Prime Minister was asked a very straightforward question as to whether she will promise not to break any more promises in 2012. If she cannot make that promise, she should resume her seat. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business would have listened to the question, as I did, and the question included a reference to mandatory precommitment and problem gambling. The Prime Minister is addressing the question and I am sure she will address all of the question during the time that she has. Ms GILLARD: I would have thought that every member in this parliament would think problem gambling is a serious issue worthy of consideration and the bringing to that consideration of a serious demeanour given the number of Australians who actually suffer, sometimes with the cost of their lives through suicide, as a result of problem gambling. We will bring to this parliament the biggest package of change a national government has ever brought to problem gambling. Yes, the government worked with Mr Wilkie on mandatory precommitment. It became apparent that such legislation would not get through this chamber, in part because the opposition would not vote for it. It seems to me quite remarkable indeed that any member of the opposition who would have come in here and voted against such legislation now comes into the parliament to raise the issue of that legislation. The opposition was opposed to it. We will bring to this parliament changes that can secure parliamentary support because, when faced with a choice of doing nothing or getting something done that will matter to families around the nation, I am for getting something done. What we will get done will make a practical difference in the lives of Australians who struggle with problem gambling. I know, due to its relentless negativity, due to the leadership of the Leader of the Opposition, that the demeanour of the opposition on any proposition for change is to say no. They do not want our nation ready for the future, they do not want working families to get a package of policies that benefit them, they do not want to support jobs, they do not want to build the new economy of the future and they certainly do not want to do anything to support Australians in need as a result of problem gambling. The test that will face the opposition, when we do bring this legislation to the parliament, will be where they will vote and what they will do, or will we see the same kind of hypocrisy on display then that we are seeing on display now?
