Hey guys,
Joey, I'm afraid there's still no credit for Poker Asia Pacific but plenty for the "reputable" offshore guys in your SMH article, submission and speech. It appears like you're some sort of figurehead now for Australian Online Poker but forgot to mention Poker Asia Pacific at all.
Here's Poker Asia Pacific's original change.org petition from August 2016 after the first Australian site was shut down by the AFP and others allowed to continue to operate - not a word about that from you. Alliance?
https://www.change.org/p/help-us-reg...r-in-australia
Joey Del Duca, from out of the blue and founder of AOPA, made this petition on change.org in December 2016 and it was the first post on his newly created Facebook page: Australian Online Poker Alliance.

They are amazingly similar, right down to the heading and image used.
Joey told me that he didn't even know about Poker Asia Pacific's petition. He said he heard about PAP's petition one month after he created it. Really?
If it is true, it is not very well informed of him, for a figurehead, however, he told me; "he just saw something", and then had the idea to make his own petition on change.org and subsequent FB page.
It is precisely how it was done by Poker Asia Pacific on its Facebook page 3 months prior.
Thankfully, the senators will be the judge on this.
I do admit Joey has helped the cause, however, a little credit where credit is due would have been appreciated...
Thanks guys.

Credit for what? The 5 mins you spent putting together that change.org petition? Joey hepled the cause? Damn right he did. How much time did you spend lobbying politicians for our cause? Travel to Canberra on your own dime to help us out? You sound very bitter for reasons I am unsure of.
