I imagine it's because they want to win n have a winning chance in the 'bush' as oppose to the city slickers who normally vote AA, Greens, LIB, ALP, Christian Democrats, etc. and the same reason the NATs don't either. One can still vote for them for an Upper House Seat, but I believe they are targeting both Houses, this time more than ever. One step at a time. . It's in the party name as well.

I hope the SFF go hard with good candidates in Eden-Monaro and Bathurst. Both of these are very vulnerable for the Nats. Barilaro should be worried - the SFF vote will eat into the Nat vote significantly and he will be gone, probably with a Labor win. Toole should be very worried in Bathurst. With Lithgow and Bathurst tracks in his seat and a lot of work to do to get NSW racing going again an Orange-like swing is not out of the question! Council amalgamations also did not go down well in both areas.

The early mail is that it isn't looking good for the Toole.

The latest is the Gov't will support the Industry for three years with no changes to ICA n Tax Parity, and the Alliance has allegedly agreed to it in principle. . The Govt is running scared n won't change the status quo because of the campaign that will be orchestrated against them by the T'Breds. . Mr Borsak will leave no stone unturned in his quest to have to ICA n Tax Parity amended n believes it will be the death of the National Party in NSW.

Well we all suspected a "DEAL WAS DONE" when the GBOTA dropped the Court case.What happens after 3 years ? "SINK OR SWIM".

If we didn't have SFF Party and now ALP n Fred Nile in our corner then maybe Mark, we'd be gonski ! That's why the SFF Party want $150 million (the equivalent of the missing money from ICA over 20 years) to support the industry long term. We don't even have the money from the Tax Parity Legislation. It's been a calculated effort to starve us out of existence. . We're not there yet, but they are trying their hardest to help us.

So Labor is supporting the SFF Party ? I certainly hope so.

With this Bill yes, along with Mr Fred Nile of the Christian Democrats. They're going to defeat it then amend it to include the $150 million. . Once again, I thank them for their help. . Also, I will never forget the help Alan Jones n Ray Hadley gave to our cause along with auxiliary staff from the groups. . Vote 1 SFF Party !

They did alright in WA. They are a very real alternative to the Nationals.......and appeal to "real" country folk, not the hippy wannabe tree-changers and townies.

A vote on the repeal of the ban happens tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, one of the media outlets is dragging up old, fake, distorted news to get a reaction. . The Federal Govt is pushing for more gas to be supplied, which is in direct opposition to farmers. There are alternatives to gas n really no alternative to damage to water acquifers. No wonder the Nats will struggle in NSW at the next election. . They just don't get it !

Apparently, it's our own fault that we won't be getting our fair share because we like racing for only a few hundred dollars in prize money. Surely, the antis can't be that narrow minded n gullible ! They will come up with any notion to not pay our share. Let's see what develops from here.

No but it is our fault that we let "DUDS" represent us.
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
