Federal Communications Minister Michelle Rowland insists she will not accept donations from gambling companies in the future, as she conceded the public "expect better" from her and fellow politicians.
Earlier this month, Ms Rowland stared down demands to quit after Nine Newspapers revealed betting company Sportsbet had paid $8,960 for a dinner to support her election campaign in March last year, and made another donation of $10,000 in the days before the May poll.
As communications minister, Ms Rowland has responsibility for online gambling policy.
