Senators who voted for the final bill were pleased that the legislation limits overseas access to Australian gambling sites. Senator Bob Brown noted, "What's bad for Australian households is bad for households elsewhere around the world." Australia has been grappling with the issue of problem gambling for years, but opponents of the bill argue that poker- and pull-tab machines in pubs are the real cause of the nation's gambling problem. They also insist that the bill will not do anything to address the issue.
