Shorting on a stock is actually illegal/against the rules in some countries as it has the potential to make a stock crash if abused to the extreme!

That simply shows that some countries take a more ethical view when it comes to laws and regulations.
Australians love to gamble and look at the winners as national heroes, no matter how crook. As long as the bookie/ casino operator/ pokies shop gets away with a profit, the misery of addicts and losers doesn't figure.
