Why we need to have a conversation about sport and gambling

Gambling reform is everywhere at the moment - in the media, on your feed, and possibly, your what's a group. And in our opinion, that's sparking a very overdue conversation about gambling and it's relationship with sport. We also cover an amazing inclusive program being rolled out by Netball Queensland PLUS we get all academic (we'd appreciate it if you could hide your shock) and discuss a research article in The Conversation about early specialisation.
