Sex offender MP being paid behind bars + Gambling influencers on the rise

Thursday Headlines: Lawyers for sex offender Gareth Ward argue against his expulsion from NSW Parliament, Donald Trump says JD Vance is the next likely Republican candidate for 2028, the trial of Outback Wrangler TV star Matt Wright is underway, WhatsApp's deleted over 6.8 million accounts linked to scams, and we're in the 'Golden Age’ of swimming, better than Thorpe and O’Neill.

Deep Dive: Videos of influencers and streamers gambling are becoming increasingly popular online, with the content largely targeting young people.

In videos shared to social media sites, streaming and video platforms influencers with thousands to millions of followers are filming themselves placing bets on online casinos and in real life at the pokies.

With Australia already home to the world’s biggest gamblers, and losers, the growing trend's got experts worried that it could draw in a whole new generation of problem gamblers.

In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with University of Sydney influencer and gambling researcher, Dr Mark Johnson, on how creators are bending the rules, and the lack of laws to stop them.
