Culture doesn't happen in a vacuum, nor is it some sort of iron clad thing that never changes. Government policy has been a major contributor to addressing various public health issues that have historically been seen as cultural, and the same can apply to gambling.
Although I feel Albanese himself has a bit of a blind spot on this issue. He was one of the people who came out against the proposed greyhound racing ban by the NSW Liberal government in the 2010s, which has always tainted my view of him a little.
It's hard to see it as anything other than the gamboling lobby controlling it politics. Albo is practicing 'sensible politics' which seems to mean ensuring corporate interests get the final say.

Actually, I sort of think that Albanese’s support of genocide in Palestine is somewhat problematic.
Where did the user you're replying to say otherwise? Because it feels like you're just trying to shoehorn this topic into a different conversation. This is coming from someone that's staunchly pro-Palestine by the way, before you try to claim otherwise. If you want to make a difference here, log off and go join a protest.
Yeah that comment was a wild non-sequitur.
