Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Most people are unaware that there is a Commission of Inquiry into Greyhound NSW going on at the moment, because there has been bugger all media coverage of it, but it’s happening. The inquiry is being held under Part 8 of the Greyhound Racing Act (NSW) 2017, a piece of legislation that gives the Greyhound […]
Something strange is going on at Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW), something very strange indeed. There are supposedly unconnected connections happening left, right and centre, and the unconnected connected people are making a motza through their unconnected connections. If you know what I mean. The law firm Pryor, Tzannes and Wallis that was formerly owned by […]
Robert Macauley was the company secretary of Greyhound Racing NSW from 2020 until 1 July 2023, when he became the acting CEO of the organisation. Macaulay was appointed to the official role of CEO on 1/8/2023. Somewhere in between, on the 1/2/2022 – while he held the role as GRNSW company secretary – Robert Macaulay […]
In the same week that the animal activists scored a huge win by shutting down greyhound racing in New Zealand, a bloody dog has to come out and die on us. Khatanga Tex had only just turned three when it suffered a catastrophic injury on the turn out of the h0me straight in the 9th […]

That’s the backlash from Donald Arthur who has been a veterinary surgeon for […]

The biggest issue Mr Peters has not addressed yet will be the mental health of the greyhound participants and others affected by this closure. I know this personally because after the NSW ban on greyhound racing was announced I ended up in the Tweed […]
Yesterday the New Zealand Government announced that it will phase out greyhound racing over a 20-month period, with racing to be banned by the end of July 2026. While this decision will obviously be bitterly disappointing and distressing for the participants and their families in the greyhound racing industry in New Zealand, the NZ government’s […]
One thing that has been largely missed amid all the hoopla and hype about the NZ Government’s announcement that greyhound racing will be shut down is a new law passed under urgency in parliament yesterday. The Racing Industry (Unlawful Destruction of Specified Greyhounds) Amendment Bill – now passed into law – makes it a criminal […]
