Seems Mr Bromhead has also abandoned that great platform of conservative politics........the free exchange of ideas and speech!
He is deleting all negative comments, even those with no profanity or abusive language.
I can just picture him with his fingers in his ears saying la, la, la!

Time to actually LISTEN buddy!

Deleted both mine and Lynda Bonner's post, neither were offensive.

What is the point of his FB account unless he gets benefit from the positive comments of the multi account holding animal extremists. Surely he has got the message from Orange that multiple account holders only have one vote?

Animal extremists can destroy lives and wreck careers, just ask Troy Grant!

At The Orange Elections Vote 1 Fishers, Shooters And Farmers Party before we loose what is rightfully OURS


Hopefully the F S and F Party will start head hunting quality candidates to stand against all the National politicians who voted for the greyhound ban to contest the next election.

Please help these guys out as they are certainly helping us out. $10 is an easy donation to show ur support to a party that is politically campaigning to overturn the Intercode & ensure greyhounds survival in NSW

Yes, to adjust the ICA, give us our share from the Tax Harmonisation piece of legislation and repeal the ban. We need to give them more credit and support so, that would be a good idea Glenn.

Phil Donato is set to claim victory for the SFF Party after a record 34% swing against the NP (according to Friday's SMH). Now, Mr Pickle is blaming the ALP for `preferencing' the SFF in the recent Orange By-Election that caused the SFF to win the seat.

What a sour-puss. A sore loser.

Interesting hearsay information below.
.
Yesterday, a scrutineer for the SF&F Party was spoken with, and he stated that some games wereplayed with the Ballot Papers ! The following is what he said had occurred, albeit somewhat obscure.

"On the first count the Nats won the seat with 80 votes, then SF&F Party ask for a recountand to his surprise 100ballot papers came out of nowhere that were not included in the first count which no one could explain where they came from. Now after the recount the SF&F Party won the seat by 55 votes."
.
Interesting. Don't ask me about the maths involved in the above equation, but I'm glad they got it right !

16 February 2017 - MEDIA RELEASE - Greyhound report welcome, but it must not kill the industry financially (Borsak).pdf
.
Greyhound report welcome, but it must not kill the industry financially

Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MLC Robert Borsak welcomed the Greyhound Industry Reform Panels report to the Government, but warned that the it must not lead to the industrys decline financially.

Whats clear from the past few years is that the Governments response to the greyhound racing industry has not been up to scratch, Mr Borsak said.

As a sign that there is a way forward for the greyhound racing industry, this report is welcome but what we dont want to see is a slow death by regulations that the industry and participants cannot afford.

Paying for the measures in this report must be the chief concern of the Government.

The main issues of finance are the same as what I covered in the Parliamentary inquiry I chaired into greyhound racing in 2013 and 2014.
.
Tax harmonisation and a fairer intercode agreement between greyhound racing, harness racing and thoroughbreds is whats needed.
.
Currently greyhound racing has 21.7 per cent of the market share and only receives about 13 per cent of the revenue under the intercode agreement. For any industry, thats unsustainable.
.
If the greyhound racing industry is to continue with the recommendations of this report adopted, its needs adequate finance that covers its current needs and allows for future growth of the industry.

The Government must stop pandering to thoroughbred racing and work towards a fairer intercode agreement.

"I've seen reports that the thoroughbred industry has been assured that the unfair intercode agreement won't be touched: that's not good enough.

Stop treating greyhound racing like the poor-cousin of other codes, and running a protection racket for horse racing.

The Gov't wanted to give the Industry $30 million when it was trying to close it down. I wonder if the Gov't still has that $30 million to assist us in the Reform ? I must write that we have been `reforming' for at least two years now and some, if not most of the recommendations, have been `borrowed' from the JWG's recommendations that became a working document and produced around May 2016. The theme was that `welfare would be at the centre of the reform.' Funny, Mr Iemma mentioned it as well.
.
Really, we have wasted millions and millions of dollars going around in circles, only to come back to where we started. I suppose it's better than a `backflip'.
.
Keep the Coalition out ! Keep them out for good !

people should surely realise by now that Robert borsak and his party is who we should be backing 100%. I have so much more faith in this guy than our own alliance group its not funny.

Brenton scott is by far too timid and I still think he and his group just don't get it.

we have to demand what we want and let it known loud and clear. you cannot be passive when dealing with government. they will walk all over u just as we have all witnessed.

the government really does not want to give us anything if u ask me. they will tell us what we want to hear but they will do whatever they can to give us the bare minimum and they couldn't care less if we were strangled into obliteration by regulation and welfare constraints.

remember Robert borsak is the only one truly standing up for us from what I have witnessed.

Simon, IMO you're absolutely correct. Before, we had the door slammed in our face. Now, we get a foot in the door n our body facing the Minister. The ALP is helping, but the SFF Party is the one who has made big inroads for our cause. Hadley n Jones were brilliant as well, but I write respectfully that they're transient n the ALP hesitant to change the ICA.
.
About ten years or so ago, the ALP Govt adopted all of the recommendations in the Cameron Report except one, to change the ICA. Mr Kevin Greene was the Racing Minister until a small group of greyhound enthusiasts campaigned in his electorate to oust him, which they did at the next election. I believe he has been the Govts Rep on the T'Bred Board for two or three terms since leaving parliament.

The SFF need to select some good quality candidates in the currently held NSW National party seats and pay particular attention to Bathurst. Campaigning starts now! I would be very worried if I was the current racing minister. He needs to get on board or the SFF freight train is coming!!!

Wow ! Mr Borsak on the Richard King radio show today did not hold back with his opinion of the T'Breds n Govt. He claimed that the T'Bred Industry has been rorting the greyhound industry for 15 years n the Govt has been running a protection racket for them. He didn't hold back.
.
Mr Borsak off air said to one of his followers that he won't stop trying to have the ICA changed because without it, the Industry will eventually die.

even though Brenton scott should have resigned if he is one of those directly responsible for us being in this mess, he could learn a thing or two about how u get things done.

Robert borsak isn't even in our industry and he knows that to get what u deserve u have to fight hard and make no mistake of what has to happen to get fairness.

the alliance have been played bigtime imo and they have allowed us to be victimized from the start and it has not stopped since the ban was first announced.
if on one hand they r saying the McHugh report was largely full of biased rubbish which resulted in us being banned, why r they allowing us to be held to such unreasonable accountability well beyond any other industry?

change was needed, which most could agree with, and was happening but at some point u have to say we have been pushed too far and it has to stop.

He's a smart bloke Mr Borsak.

It must be the case that if you're a Coalition or Labor MP you are blind to the facts of the unfair funding greyhounds receive.

Any greyhound person that votes for either of these parties should think twice
