curious

I didn't think I'd mentioned the Human Rights Act. Sorry for the confusion if I did.

Have there been any cases go to court under the HDC Act? They generally have to go to Netsafe first don't they? I don't know much about it. Hardly likely to apply here though. Have to be a very extreme situation.

Yes. Anyone can express an opinion about anything or anyone. The HDC can not supercede Human Rights Law either.

Yes, but I don't think you understand the law. Just because someone claims to feel hurt, insulted or abused, doesn't make it legally so. That was the whole point of the Morton ruling.

Doesn't really matter if someone thinks it's "harmful to the reputation or standing to the New Zealand racing industry" does it? We've discussed that in relation to the Morton case. Doesn't and can't override the Bill of Rights.

It looks bad but you'd need the HD stipes vision to be totally evidential. They already said those two were strikes though and they are nowhere near the rump.

yeahh and a couple of them didn't look appropriately located either but she got off scot free for those.

Anyway, I'm no accountant but a training operation is not a cost centre is it since it directly generates revenue?

lol... Feudian slip? I'm primarily relying on club accounting.

Other than Cambridge, is there a track in New Zealand where the training operation isn't subsided?

Dead right about the head in the sand approach. That's what NZTR have being using for the last 2 decades whilst as a recent CEO told me, keeping on looking for the next pot of gold. They've tried the tax-payer, a corporate rescue, overseas product, pokies and now aiming at the online casino business. I'm afraid however, they may be coming to the end of a rainbow that has no pot of gold. Clubs were run as businesses for a century living on their own earnings. As with all industries a few ran into financial difficulties from time to time, but few actually went out of business because of that.

No idea about what happened. Ellis doesn't look that happy about it though.

What circumstances? Interference in the straight? Bloody good run I agree.

Are you questioning that I got them from bono? I can post them to prove I have them if you like. Minor sideshow really though, but quite funny if they did do 20 grand from a stuff up. Guess the new syndicate members will pay if so though.
