The Liberals social poker ban put three operating businesses and a dozen workers in limbo for the best part of the year.
It took pressure from Labor for them to act and it turned out all they needed to do was write a letter to the Commissioner to fix it.
Social poker was never dangerous, it was always about socialising and having fun.
The Liberals should apologise to the operators and players at Bullets Poker, Tasmanian Poker League and Australian Poker League following months of turmoil, social isolation and loss of income before today’s backflip.
