Australians are the world’s most prolific gamblers, losing close to $25 billion a year. But despite growing awareness of harms caused by the national habit, researchers from CQUniversity’s Experimental Gambling Research Laboratory say the problem is unlikely to improve without significant changes in the gambling industry.
EGRL head Professor Matt Rockloff, Research Professor - Gambling Studies Nerilee Hing and Psychology Professor Matthew Browne share their recent work with fellow EGRL team member Dr Alex Russell, and explain why gambling problems in Australia are bigger than simply “problem gambling”.

Conducting face-to-face interviews with convicted underworld murderer and drug trafficker Carl Williams, CQUniversity Criminology researcher Dr Anne Ferguson found herself part of the police investigation after his prison murder in 2010.
Her research, which began with the popular Underbelly series, aimed to highlight the conflict between fact and fiction in how the Australian entertainment industry dramatises the criminal world.
In this episode Dr Ferguson and Forensic Psychology lecturer Rebecca Wilcoxson discuss the research with Tiahna Fiddling from CQUni Corporate Communications, raising concerns that police initiatives to work closely with TV producers are impacting our perceptions of crime and policing.

The wavey, inflatable people often used to attract the attention of customers to businesses like used car yards have found a new use in dingo management in Australia.
The CQUniversity study showed that oversized, inflatable human effigies, which researchers have since dubbed ‘Fred-a-scare’, could deter captive dingoes from accessing food, providing some hope that dingoes and humans can coexist successfully without resorting to lethal management techniques.
Lead researcher Dr Bradley Smith talks about the potential impact of this quirky research for livestock producers, campgrounds and mining operations.
This is the ninth episode of CQUniversity’s podcast series: IMPACT, exploring groundbreaking research projects and their real-world impacts.

In major flood events tonnes of sediment and nutrients flow out of river systems into the ocean, and in some parts of Queensland directly onto the Great Barrier Reef. But what if we slowed the flow?
CQUniversity flood and water expert Dr Adam Rose believes slowing the velocity of water during flood events could have huge benefits for the environment, economies and communities.
After researching multiple floods in Central Queensland, he recommends that retaining water upstream in river systems, through contouring, revegetation, and specialised water storage areas, could give water more time to infiltrate and percolate into our soils reducing sediment, nutrients and plastics flowing into the reef.
And it's Adam's research that is making its way into a children's storybook in the hope of changing the current narrative about water issues in Australia.
On today's podcast we chat with Dr Rose and book illustrator Yvonne McDonald.
