Regulating loot boxes is a decent first step, but it feels like putting up an umbrella against a tsunami given the gambling industry has an incredibly strong grip over our country.
We have incessant gambling ads on every form of media (especially bad are the "bet with mates" type ads that invoke peer pressure to gamble as a social activity), pokies in pretty much every pub that are much more harmful / less regulated than much of the rest of the world, and generally a very unhealthy relationship with gambling as a country.
