Good luck on this petition.

Currently there are only 20 signatures, I assume you need a lot more!

Such petitions will do nothing. We would have to go out into the streets and protest in front of parliament.

An Australian senator created a petition in defense of online poker. Anyone from anywhere in the world can help Australian players! Since March 21 this year, online poker has been officially banned in Australia, but many residents continue to fight an almost hopeless battle with the law that has entered into force. As for PokerStars, it still accepts Australian poker players. But at the end of 2016, the client's users from this country received notifications by e-mail - they say, as soon as new amendments to the local law on online poker are approved, the room will do the same as the "eight", etc.

I can only imagine living somewhere where simply playing is deemed criminal, what a nightmare it must be living in a police state I though England was bad, I wish you guys down under all the luck in the world. I watched a 60 minutes programme recently about the Casino industry in Oz and the rhetoric used by the host was scary. He called gambling "Australia's equivalent of American gun crime" - talk about dramatic, comparing human lives with a check raise.

Best of luck with this. Unfortunately I am afraid, that a petition, which only gain minimal support, can have almost the opposite effect. It will likely be enterpreted by lawmakers as a sign, that the vast majority is happy with the current situation :(

The ban happened in 2017.

They have a big winner of the 2005 wsop in Joe Hachem.
It should be easy to play in your country after your compatriot's great achievement.
I hope you are successful with the request
