All of Australian Greyhound Racing needs to be interested because it is all interconnected. Queensland look like going down the over regulation path now with a Log Book, maybe the horse and harness industries can be made to do the same thing. Discrimination at the highest level. Keeps the boys in a job though, looking busy to justify their wages.

Lots of big (buzz) words and sweeping Mother statements. But distinctly lacking in substance and detail; in my opinion.

And yes - again - smacks of self congratulation.

And I wish for once, these people would lose this illusion that the Gbota & "Alliance" are entirely separate entities. Then again, saying their names each separately might give some people the impression of more sway and influence.

Stop the rot, stop the sellout, stop the apologizing, and for Hell's sake stop the unnecessary overregulation. We've nearly been starved and choked to death from outside the code in the past; yet now we're virtually allowing it from within what SHOULD be our "own ranks".

Steve, you may already be paying for his fortnightly airfares back home and you don't know it.

Perhaps it's the numbing effect that this response has had on participants that has rendered their fingers immobile, Terry.
The body can react in strange ways sometimes, so it's not inconceivable that it has also had an effect on people's bowel movements, hence less time to spend on the computer.

The assertions made today by the NSW GBOTA are vague statements which are not supported by veterinary or scientific evidence. GRNSW invites the NSW GBOTA to provide specific evidence that can be used in its review process.

The widespread concerns of participants, expert industry veterinarians and the feedback of the operational staff at its track that the NSW GBOTA alludes to has not been provided to GRNSW in any detail apart from the high level claims referred to in todays statement, which again have no veterinary or scientific evidence or specific examples where a greyhounds welfare was harmed.

A small extract below, from the GBOTA that is the point of conjecture.

`Prior to the policy becoming mandatory, the NSW GBOTA presented key issues and concerns to GRNSW for its evaluation. Given the limited data collection and the fact that the initial test had involved just the one track, the NSW GBOTA proposed that any further testing at TAB tracks should be on a non-mandatory basis.'

LOL!
