The **** this woman is spitting is unbelievable, she has no clue about the general gambling industry let alone the difference between niche markets within in. To claim that the IGA is being brought in to stop problem gambling while they do nothing about the 3 biggest markets that are connected to problem gambling simply because they are venues within Australia and pay tax is contradictory and hypocritical in itself.

lol this other guy has basically just sat all over what the woman just said. 250m of 23 billion, yes very serious problem online gambling is. just goes to show how incompetent our own government is and how much this enforcement of the bill was simply an attempt to money grab from suppliers.

The government has hope that the ISP will come on board. We have seen in the past 6 months ISP's and Tech Companies are against infringing into people's civil rights.

Bernardi and Leyonhjelm are by far my two favourite senators.

Thanks for the suggestions only got to refresh right at the end

I know I speak too quickly I was actually trying to slow down a bit but I talk very quickly when thinking.

I'm not sure the second half of that went as well as it could have as I rambled a bit, but I think I got the main points across in my opening statement and the Senators made a good point of asking the right questions to show that a ban would be ineffective. I had hoped they'd ask more about the harm minimisation of regulation etc but we went where the questions took us

I was on my mobile phone btw not a mic, not sure how the call quality was after the initial interference but it seemed okay on my end

Thoughts etc?

I'm liking that this guy is talking about $1 tourney lasting 3-5 hrs etc that was in my submission but I didn't get asked about it

Who is this speaking I missed the start of the introduction etc? He's got an excellent speaking voice.

I should have come up with a better example of a sham commission than the Kahnawake Tribe it's confusing because they're physically located in Canada, should have used one from a third would country but I think I saved it by equating it to buying a fake degree on the internet. Not sure if that all got across properly, I know I confused Sen. Bernardi at first.

Let's hope the remainder of team online poker should be legal and regulated does well. I'm happy with how the first half of my testimony went but a bit annoyed at myself for the second half.
