flag Nine Entertainment seeks government compensation if gambling ads are banned, citing revenue loss and urging a balanced approach.

flag Nine Entertainment chair Catherine West urged the Australian government to compensate media outlets if a gambling ad ban is enacted, warning it could shift revenue to unregulated tech platforms. flag She noted gambling ads made up a small, declining share of Nine’s revenue and called for a balanced, sector-wide approach. flag Despite 75% public support, the Albanese government has not acted on 31 recommendations from a 2023 gambling harm inquiry, including restrictions on live sports ads. flag The gambling industry is pushing for age-based social media limits and shorter blackout periods to avoid a full ban. flag Nine supports compliance but says opt-out features like SBS’s aren’t feasible for its broadcast service. flag The company avoided a shareholder revolt, with over 80% backing executive pay and re-electing Peter Tonagh to succeed West as chair. flag Nine’s strong performance stems from growth in its Stan streaming service and the $3 billion sale of Domain to CoStar Group.
