Paddy Power founder says Govt has caved to the industry with advertising reforms
from The Radio National Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Stewart Kenny was one of the pioneers of modern sports betting but now says he wishes he’d done more to prevent gambling addiction. He says the government's new gambling advertising reforms are a win for the industry. US Vice-president JD Vance has jetted into Budapest ahead of Hungary’s elections to support the country’s long-serving leader Viktor Orban. With polls suggesting Europe’s nationalist pin-up boy could suffer a bruising defeat this weekend, is the MAGA cheer squad a help or hindrance? This week China and Europe will launch a satellite called Smile - Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer - intended to help gather information about ‘space weather’. While learning more about space weather might seem less glamorous than sending humans to the far side of the moon, it is another step for China towards its goal of establishing dominance in the global space race.
