    This news is over a month old, and Pocock has since been unbanned from the Parliamentary Sports Club, though has chosen not to rejoin. There has still been no progress on addressing the gambling issue either with the Sports Club or in Australia’s wider gambling laws.

        they’re most likely referring to friendlyjordies. i don’t know the details and you shouldn’t trust a random stranger on the internet, so you’ll be better off looking into it yourself
