Mr. Sloyan stated that a safe lottery is a lottery in which the interests of participants are protected. I suggest to Mr. Griffin that player protection and confidence in his company's endeavours are still matters that he must strive to achieve. I do not think his organisation has made a good start and it made a ham fisted transition from "Winning Streak". It is a question of protecting the players and preserving their familiarity with games. Senator Conway raised issues that many of us have encountered in regard to the cohort of people who are not familiar with online operations. I hope Mr. Griffin can bring people with him but I have been disappointed that we have had three outages. That does not sit well with people. He has provided an explanation for some of these outages but the person who looks forward to the draw on Saturday night must also be brought along on the journey. I wish him well in his endeavours.
