Independent Senator David Pocock calls for closing the loophole allowing alcohol ads during children's programming on smart TV apps.
Independent Senator David Pocock urges the Albanese government to close a legal loophole allowing alcohol advertising during children's programming on smart TV apps.

Pocock plans to propose an amendment to communications laws this week.
