Australia PM, politicians took $147,000 of match tickets while weighing sports betting ban Australian politicians were gifted about A$245,000 ($147,000) in match tickets over nearly two years by the country's most popular sporting leagues as part of a lobbying campaign against a proposed ban on advertising of online gambling, according to Reuters calculations based on government documents.

I took a look at the free tickets Australian politicians get to the footy, and the role they played killing the ban on gambling ads.

When ChatGPT tells you
Australians don't need a visa to enter Chile but it's wrong and too late now


phone text: as an australian citizen, you do not need a visa to enter Chile for tourism or business purposes if your stay is 90 days or less. 
So as long as your passport is valid and you/re entering for tourism or short-term business:
you can enter visa-free, and
You can get in within 12 hours, assuming you have a flight and meet standard entry requirements
