A magnificently penned response by Edward Rennell to the erasure of Greyhounds from the fabric of so many communities and individuals in New Zealand. Beware Australia, both canine and equine, that the political footprint and influence of racing remains small, no matter how much and how many reports state otherwise. And therein lies the vulnerability […]
Michael Berkman MP is the Greens MP for the inner city Brisbane seat of Maiwar. Like all greens he is an anti-greyhound racing activist. And like most of his kind he is prepared to tell half truths and deceive you to promote his political cause. Take a look at this video he posted on his […]

It’s lucky we punters are a hard headed with thick skins borne of a thousand quaddy killers, otherwise we might actually take what these idiots say personally. The lot of them […]
Concerns grow for Newcastle’s greyhound racing industry Story by Oli Goeldner: Newcastle Weekly Newcastle Greens councillors are pushing for a transition plan to support the city’s greyhound racing sector, as concern mounts over safety at a Wallsend track.
