Tom Elliott and Greens Senator Larissa Waters have clashed over gambling on 3AW Drive.

Tom Elliott says adults should have the right to spend money how they wish and should be smart enough to know that they’ll ultimately lose if they bet or play the pokies.

But Ms Waters wants action taken to protect the public.

‘You shouldn’t be exploiting and misleading people into thinking they’re about to win big when in fact they’re just getting ripped off,’ she said.
