I think the US Govt’s stand on internet gambling has more to do with far-right politics, than the actual wills of the majority of citizens.
I don’t think Australia is going to go down the same path at all.
Like Jarvi said, Australia is more of a follower than leader in politics, but I think that’s more applicable to international politics than local.
Gambling companies and interests hold a fair bit of power in .au, and there’s not the same political climate as in the US by any means.
