Why hasn't the "Honourable" Michael McHugh been charged with dereliction of duty or negligence? Why haven't Working Dog Alliance, RSPCA, Animals Australia and ALL of the other so-called "experts" been charged with giving false testimony?

Why didn't the industry have legal representation at the commission hearing to refute the qualifications of these so called "expert" witnesses. I know of one prominant Sydney Vet. who offered his knowledge and experience of the racing greyhound to the inquiry and was ignored. I have today emailed Ray Hadley with his contact details.

Simple Ray, they just wanted their hand picked stooges there!
Why is it, every time there is a judicial enquiry, (independant officianado)an ex hack on $300,000 for the gig, eighty plus years old, member of the old boys club, nudge nudge, wink wink, hiding his own easter eggs,gets the gig? I am afraid at that age , i want an "alzhiemers free " certificate, and a full drivers licence.

Media Release Greyhound Industry Commences Legal Challenge In Supreme Court
29 July 2016
Greyhound industry commences legal challenge in Supreme Court
The greyhound industry has today commenced the first of its legal challenges to the Report of the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Greyhound Racing Industry.
The NSW Premiers decision to ban greyhound racing in NSW from July 1, 2017 was based on this Report.
The industry has filed proceedings in the NSW Supreme Court, seeking a declaration that the Report is invalid and of no legal effect. The industrys legal team is headed by the former Commonwealth Solicitor General, David Bennett AC QC.
The Premiers decision to ban greyhound racing was based on only one of the 80 recommendations made in the Michael McHugh AC QC Report, said Brenton Scott, Chief Executive, NSW Greyhound Breeders, Owners and Trainers Association.
The recommendations and the report are being challenged on a number of grounds including the reliance of the Commissioner on the concept of a social licence to operate which we believe is inappropriate and unreasonable given that it has been described, amongst other things, as difficult if not impossible to measure.
The challenge also indicates that the figures relied upon by the Commissioner on wastage were erroneous.
The idea that a Government can ban a perfectly lawful racing industry, which operates in every state in Australia and in overseas countries with legal systems the same as Australias, on the basis that it has lost some form of intangible and unwritten social licence would be a very worrying development to many in the community.
This is particularly so when there are no known legal criteria for the issuing and continuation of a social licence and where respected authors have described it as an intangible construct.
Our industry has widely identified the many factual errors in the Report in addition to the legal errors identified by our legal counsel.
These factual errors were brought to the attention of the Premier in the industrys comprehensive and detailed rebuttal which was provided to the Premier last week.

We're going for the throat
Truly classy ... This whole procedure !!! Thanku so much all involved !!! Can't wait to enjoy a feed together on tues!! Just a thought .... Sandro , whilst aggressive antics could be at risk by a few erratic poeple ,understandably so , but it should be condemned !! How about banners that show appreciation for the few notables that have stood up for us thus far ... Eg Ladbrokes .. Donating 1 mil Liz brown .. Nth rivers vets Natina Howard ... Brave participant !! Ray Hadley ... Champ !!! Mark duclos .... Double champ !!!
My point is to make this day about appreciation for our fellow sportsman Our leaders to date have shown patients .. Class and we as particepents need to reinforce this class on tues Just a thought .... Anyone who knows anything about banner hand outs or the making of them .. I'd love one with a simple thanku for one of these poeple ...
Ps don't worry sandro I'll make another one with your name on it !! Cheers for response ,see ya's on tues :) !!

Good.... Overturn this shambolic ban, get Baird removed, then go after AA, the ABC, 4C, RSPCA and every other terrorist organisation that make me feel like a criminal every time someone asks 'what do you do for a living?'
Attention Sandro ....... I've sent you email please look and respond , I know you receive hundreds

Alan Jones FINALLY (after only one week back after a 3 week vacation) talks about the mess the Baird Government have got themselves into regarding the announcement to close the Greyhound industry in NSW.
Thank you Alan for expressing an unbiased summary on this topic. I'm sure it took you a week to absorb the McHugh Report.

A lot of the AM stations in Vic don't get Ray Hadley but they do get Alan Jones.

Why is it that on the same radio station of 2GB Ray Hadley & Alan Jones are on the same level & giving it to Baird & Grant & co., but Ben Fordham is still dribbling the same rubbish.
Surely he is smart enough to see the facts by now. But he is just sucking up to the gullible listeners that are still out there. Just after ratings. Nothing more or he would be on the same level as the other two blokes on there.
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
