Thats the key point. With the new fish markets due for completion by 2024. You can be assured, developers are circling and heavily lobbing government to continue with the redevelopment of that whole precinct. No way either party want to wait til 2027 to get their hands on Wenty, nor wait subsequent years to develop and complete project(s). Plenty of bargaining power, if done with the industries best interest at heart....

I agree with you on that wish list but being the realist i am i am wondering how a project like that which by my guesstimations you wont gwt much change from $15m (land included) is going to be paid for

Just at least give me that answer Mark instead of fluffing around the issue

I don't see an Anti Greyhound Industry Government paying for an early exit from W.P. when they can sit back let the lease run out and pay ZERO !

How much is GWIC costing this Anti Greyhound Industry Government per year to run Sandro ?

But thst comes out of Govt money now, not grnsw money

How much does the government make from gambling on dogs, horses and trots?

$15m would be a great investment

Labor is coupled with the Greens these days...I prefer the devil we know than the one we don't

But at the same time, the trots have shown great forward thinking at the inevitable urban sprawl over the next 50-100 years and have moved to areas, ready and waiting to come to them in Menangle and Melton.

The spotlight is now well and truly on the level of quality in the people running this sport.

You have got to be joking Sandro ?
Who did the N.S.W. Coalition jump in Bed with when they banned the Greyhound Industry ?
Talk about short memories !

Thats 7 years ago

We were sold out by 2 greedy politicians and the horse racing lobby.

Those 2 clowns are gone and horse racing is now well and truly under the watchful eye of the Anti- Racing brigade, so they need to behave as well

To be honest I owuldn't trust any of them as far as I can throw them

But you would trust a party and place the industrys future in one that automatically gives its preference to the Greens.

Now who is joking LOL

I don't think either party is or the people who lurk in the background

But one thing I do know is that I would go nowhere near a party that has the Greens as one of their factions helping them form policy.

But then again it could be a case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

A lot depends on which side is running the show in either party

We need to support the Shooters and Fishers to help keep the balance from tipping over the edge in each party. They are about the only ones who I would give a vote to

Its a very dirty game there pal. Deals are there to be made.

Doesn't matter, Labor was in charge in the ACT. Thats a major worry.

Because the Greens were already involved in their party it was easier for it to be banned. It became an internal decision.

They are tarred with the same brush pal and from what I have seen nothing has changed with that party, in fact the Greens are even stronger within them

While I don't trust the Coalition, they have to go outside their party line to do a deal with the Greens which is how Baird/Grant got found out

The lack of support for greyhound racing will have a lot to do with the other codes heavily lobbying to keep us down. As they fear the potential of greyhound racing to their own product.

$11 million over 5 years from 2016/2017 for GWIC from the State Govt as a payment to rejoin the industry after the ban, and Gwic further received some monies from GRNSW because they were doing the job before GWIC arrived.

Youre right, its probably costing the industry easily $15 million per year as opposed to the measly $2.75 million per year the government originally provided in the first instance. So it must have come from GRNSW a massive cost to the industry! The government wanted us to fall over after the five years as they deliberately under-funded us.

Sandro,
How much is the government giving us now? I dont think its $15 million a year.. but Im happy to be proven wrong.
