Exactly Dan.

We have nothing to loose as we're currently being rapped by both the 2 major parties and ignored.

We are strong & we a many.
From past to present,
we can unite & we can win the fight.
We'll stand tall & we will never fall.

Acually we have a lot more to lose, other than our industry.

Kev how about after you kennel at Albion take the 3 minute drive up the hill to the One Nation head office. I am certain after participants have emailed their concerns for this state that you might just get someone pay a visit to a meeting there.

Have a chat to Furlong in Front Dickson.
He will have no idea what you are talking about as he has no idea about greyhound racing.

As a past Minister for Sport and Racing you would think he has some idea what has being going on, you would be blind thinking otherwise. Just remind Steve Dickson of what One Nation stands for, Australian values, honesty and integrity, fairness and human progress. The Principles and objects of One Nation are.

1.To bring about the necessary changes for fair and equal treatment of all Australians, within a system of government recognising and acting upon a need for Australia to be truly one nation.

2.To protect our sovereignty and democracy.

3.To acknowledge and respect the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first peoples of this land. However, One Nation opposes acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the preamble to the Australian Constitution, as One Nation believes that all Australians are owners and custodians of this land and should work toward unification, not segregation, under the one law for all.

4.One Nation supports Citizens Initiated Referenda, giving the people of Australia, a voice to oppose or call for laws to be implemented.

5.Our children are the future leaders of our nation. They must be given every opportunity to a decent affordable education. Our children must have priority to fill school and university enrolments before those of international students.

6.To actively pursue and promote treaties, investment and development as deemed appropriate and in the national interest and repeal those that are not in our best interests.

7.To honour and respect the men and women who have suffered and lost their lives in defence and protection of our country, and ensure that those who have given so much for their country and people, are cared for appropriately in time of need.

8.To ensure those convicted of crimes endure appropriate penalties. To seek treaties with other countries, for those who are non Australian citizens who have committed a criminal offence carrying a 2 years or longer prison sentence, be deported to their country, to do their jail term there.

9.To ensure law abiding Australians, with legitimate purpose, will always have access to firearms to undertake various activities including the defence of themselves and their families in their own homes.

10.To ensure our society remains benevolent and caring in its approach to our fellow citizens in genuine need.

11.To treat all Australians equally and justly and with government assistance based on need, not race.

12.To support and advocate traditional family values and uphold the institution of the family in its fight against the many who aim to breakdown this important unit of any decent society.

13.To re-vitalise and support our defence forces and personnel and ensure Australia builds and maintains and appropriate level of national security and defence.

14.To restrict immigration at times when necessary due to high unemployment, overloading on our infrastructure such as roads, water, sewerage, hospitals, schools and housing, except that related to investment, and is in Australia's best interest.

15.To stop foreign ownership of Australia's agriculture land and established housing. Oppose the sale of public assets without the consent of Australians and repeal United Nations treaties that are detrimental or of no benefit to Australia.

16.To restore tariff protection where appropriate, revitalise and encourage Australian industry and manufacturing and initiate financial support for small business and the rural sector, in particular in the interest of creating national wealth and employment.

17.To take positive action on matters such as taxation reform, education, health, unemployment, crime, the environment and the discrimination created by political correctness.

18.To re-establish a publicly-owned people's bank like the Commonwealth Bank used to be, prior to it being privatised to create true competition, value and benefit Australians.

19.To abolish divisive and discriminatory policies, such as those related to Aboriginal and Multicultural Affairs.

20.To protect the environment from industry that will destroy prime agriculture land and water sources. We will oppose CSG mining until a full government impact study is done, as to the ramifications it has on our environment, land and water.

21.To stop the teaching and infiltration of Islam and its totalitarian ideology, that opposes our democracy, way of life and laws. To ban the Burqa in public places, government buildings and schools. To make genital mutilation of young girls a criminal offence, carrying heavy sentences. To stop islamists and their families from receiving welfare benefits; we are a Christian country, only one marriage is recognised. Ban the building of any more Mosques.

22.To oppose Sharia Law ever being allowed in Australia. We are a Christian country with one law for all.

23.To implement an Australian Identity Card to be used by Australians accessing taxpayer funded services such as health, education, welfare, pensions and services. For too long Australian taxpayers have been footing the bill for people who are not entitled or submit multiple claims under aliases. Also foreigners have been known to abuse our system, by using their Australian families details, when visiting the country.

24.To implement a food labelling system that is conducive as to the origin of the product, Australian made or foreign. Halal certification has no place in Australia when unsuspecting Australians are forced to fund Islamic Mosques and schools. One Nation would stop the practice of Halal Certification on all products, service, and machinery in Australia, other than for export.

25.One Nation will continue to stop illegal immigration by way of boat and air and support temporary protection visas. One Nation supports the refugee programme, but we must have a say in who comes in. We must be mindful of taking people that are Christian, and genuine refugees.

26.One Nation opposes increasing the Aged Pension age to 70 and the family home included in the assets test. As it is opposed to people on the land only being able to encompass the family home and 5 acres of land before the assets test is applied. Independent retirees who are not eligible for the aged pension must be rewarded by providing health care assistance.

27.One Nation opposes the privatisation of essential services such as water, gas, electricity, telecommunications and defence. This must and should remain in the hands of our governments and not foreign ownership and control. We oppose Agenda 21 and its push for 'sustainable development'.

28.One Nation is committed to protecting the farming sector in time of drought, flood and foreign takeover. If we cannot feed ourselves we will starve. We cannot allow other countries to use our land to feed their own when we should be growing the food and exporting it.

29.One Nation will repeal or review the 1953 Double Taxation Agreement Act that provides for foreign investors not to pay tax in Australia. Foreign investors take out more in unpaid taxes than Australian companies operating in other countries, bring in.

30.Marriage between two people of the same sex is a social issue, and One Nation believes all Australians should have the right to vote in a referendum, rather than a vote on the floor of Parliament. If it is to be determined by Parliament then One Nation members of Parliament will be allowed a conscience vote. We also acknowledge that same sex couples living in defacto relationships should be afforded the same property rights as heterosexuals couples.

31.To secure the election to public office of members committed to the objectives of the party.

Quote from - Steve Wilson AM
Chair
Racing Queensland Board

Amplifying our challenge is the fact that 39% of
Queensland races (FY 16) are non-TAB compared
to only 8% in Victoria and 16% in New South Wales.
There is no commercial return from non-TAB racing
and while there are major social and local economic
benefits it comes at a financial cost.

Then please make Bundaberg Greyhounds TAB. We have been trying for 15 years.

We have $63 million available now as part of the
Racing Infrastructure Fund and another $44 million
available from 2020 to 2023. We have already
announced $13 million for Ipswich and $6 million for
country and regional capital works. Further priority
projects are planned for the Gold Coast and an
exciting vision for two new or replacement greyhound
facilities to the south and west of Brisbane.

Then please announce where the new greyhound track will be & don't forget the $10,000,000 promised to the greyhounds 8 years ago when PARKLANDS was taken from the industry.

Steve...We have been down this path before & we've had enough mate.

You have less then 3 weeks before greyhound participants lose patients.

The red head is looking good from what I hear.

Labour has had another term in office now over 9 years of promises,and thanks to our USELESS representatives still no one turn track,and there won't be one started unless One Nation can get the balance of power,Labour and the LNP are both anti greyhounds hence the abandonment of market share and NO breeding scheme.

(From 'The Courier Mail' online)

"Minor parties throw support behind $70m package for country racing
Nathan Exelby, The Courier-Mail

November 9, 2017

BOTH minor parties vying for seats in the November 25 state election have thrown support behind the Palaszczuk Governments $70 million package for country racing.

Labor this week announced the package to fund country racing for the next four years, freeing up Racing Queensland funds that are vital in boosting prizemoney.

One Nation state leader Steve Dickson, racing minister in the Newman LNP government, said he would absolutely endorse the proposal and possibly try to bump the number even further.

Given the opportunity to see where the state of the books are, we may even increase it, because without country racing, racing is dead, Dickson said.

Racing was something I was new to when I became the minister, I learnt to love that industry and there are some great people involved. We have to back an industry that we all love, thats good for the state, good for the economy and has so many jobs involved.

One Nation state leader Steve Dickson endorsed Labors $70m package for country racing.

RQ chief executive Eliot Forbes said if delivered, the package would help make Queenslands prizemoney levels more competitive with interstate jurisdictions.

Country non-TAB thoroughbred racing is not commercially viable so the package would mean we can invest in areas that will drive wagering, improve the racing product, and boost returns for all, he said.

This package is good for racing across the board. It means country racing would be fully funded and that would put us in a budget position to boost prizemoney and industry support by up to $10 million for TAB races in all metropolitan and provincial locations.

Australian Trainers Association state president Chris Munce said members welcomed the Governments promise.

This is a tremendous boost for country racing and provides much-needed funding for infrastructure and prizemoney, he said. Country racing is an essential part of rural life and its great to see support of this significance promised by Queensland Labor.

Robbie Katter of the Katter Australia Party said regardless of who wins government, his party would ensure country racing is in a position to survive.

We will ensure the election promise to Queensland country racing does not disappear after the election, Katter said. Country racing is a vital aspect of rural communities and its continued survival is a high priority."

Yamanto?Fake News circulated by Racing Qld lackeys in an attempt to win votes,don't be conned the LNP will form government with the aid of One Nation and unless greyhound reps get One Nation on side Yamanto will be just another Cronulla Park.Good-bye Racing Qld and good riddance.

Heard Grace Grace on radio this morning. Positive about racing.Nothing worthwhile about greyhounds or red hots.Motherhood statements. Also effusive in praise for Qric. Hot air. Not much hope of change for Queenslanders.

To be honest, John, the whole website looks like it has been given a diet of bread and water.
In my opinion, it is bland, uninviting, confusing, not user friendly, limited info that's hard to find, and it has put me off my dinner.
Looks like something from the 70s.
If it was food, it would taste like cardboard.
