Bit Of A Yarn

6 years on from... The state of the Press inside racing


Recommended Posts

By chance this popped up on my fb memories.    Around the 12 min mark, to a ?? from Steve about Wages at Head Office. Note how 'patsy' all three were when Saundry Firmly states we are not going there! and not a peep!

sigh, I copy my comments from back then after watching this episode.

"

how was he allowed to get away with this comment "I'm not going to debate wages"..... also perhaps the reason that 'not enough people bet on nz races' might be because its a industry that shits on the person called 'the punter'... re it employs 50000 workers? how many of them on minimum wage? how many on Living Wage? tiz a Sunset Industry, move the chairs as much as you like will not be changing that! the only thing of merit was the decision about Digital platform! of which the Industry is years behind! and drifting further behind!

Possibly the worst CEO NZ racing has ever had , the industry has been paying for his work since he left and will be paying for it for years more in the future.

That's Sheldon Murtha, am I correct, what became of him ?

Well they have outsourced the TAB, closed some tracks but not as many as was once suggested and built the AWTs so some changes have been implemented.
