    • Tabcorp and NSW government’s delicate dance as Gill hunts the trifecta By Bren O'Brien - June 19, 2025 When NSW treasurer Daniel Mookhey delivers his third state budget on Tuesday, there is unlikely to be any mention of a rise in Point of Consumption Tax (POCT) or the ongoing review of Tabcorp’s deal in the state. Tabcorp chief executive Gillon McLachlan is pushing for a NSW reform deal to be integrated into his broader goal broader goal of creating a national tote pool. (Photo: The Image is Everything - Bronwen Healy & Darren Tindale Photography) This time last year, speculation was rife that Mookhey would look to lift the NSW POCT rate from 15 to 20 per cent, much to the chagrin of racing administrators, wagering executives and professional punters. However, a week out from the 2024 budget, the treasurer announced a review into Tabcorp’s licensing agreements in NSW after receiving a proposal from the wagering giant to create what it calls a ‘level playing field’ – although its rivals beg to differ. Put simply, it wanted a similar deal to what it had achieved in Victoria and Queensland and was willing to pay a considerable fee – said to be around $700 million  - to buy out of its current exclusivity deal which runs until 2033.

    • Take this image for example what does it prove?  Nothing.  However in the context of the Topic it was posted under it infers a lot.  That's misinformation.  Of course you can't see where the other Jockey was whipping their horse because there is no vision of it even for the Stewards.  A rule that can't be accurately enforced.
    • On BOAY these posters would be warned (as they should be under @Comic Dog rules) for stating things out of context and without proof.  However I guess the quest for traffic out weighs principles.  Of course BUCKY hasn't got the spine to state who he is referring to but just tells a story full of inferences.   @Comic Dog if you are following your own rules then where is the "proof" that there are rules for some and not others?  
    • "Huey and Bucky" likely refers to Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, and Huey Long, a historical figure who was a prominent politician in the United States. In the Marvel Universe, specifically in Captain America comics, Huey Long's rise to power is depicted as a catalyst for the outbreak of a civil war in the US, which leads to Bucky Barnes enlisting in the army while his best friend Steve Rogers is initially rejected.
