racinggreys Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) I wonder just how many of our greyhound people/clubs , or even grnz are putting in a submission to the bill. NZTR are making it known to its people, are grnz? It closes in a few days ! https://loveracing.nz/News/29588/BernardsBlog-24January.aspx BLOG https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/make-a-submission/document/52SCTI_SCF_BILL_93360/racing-industry-bill Online Submission Edited February 2, 2020 by racinggreys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaman Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The racing bodies and clubs are yet to join the dots between punters equating to income, so the fact that small things like the changing of the constitution within the TAB to favor sports betting over racing is of little concern.

BitofaLegend Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Sports are simply far more lucrative long term and more acceptable in today's society than racing is so its fully understandable as to why they are putting an emphasis on sports betting over racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sitting on their asses letting it all happen as seems to be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinggreys Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 So here is a copy of the select committee presentation by the three codes and RITA. Interesting to note who is not there. https://www.Channel X.co.nz/forums/index.php?/topic/79288-racing-bill-submissions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
