So if he keeps getting people killed in traffic accidents is he going to shut down the roads???
Stupid analogy RIO, but what they do in that situation is try to better manage the traffic. The same should have been done with the dogs. They should try to better manage the industry.
As much as I am enjoying my dog ownership - easy when they are winning. The only ones who are responsible for this happening is the very people who work in the industry. The majority would have known what was going on probably said nothing...So this seems a fair outcome.
Now to hold our breath and see how long the other states take to do the same?? Followed quickly by the horse racing industry....That thing called the thin edge of the wedge

yeah but think of it this way. Breeders will still breed dogs to probably the same volume as they have the last few years in the hope they can be sold to race outside NSW. Taking away approx. 5,000 races a year from the schedule will only make it harder for the lesser dogs to earn a crust interstate due to the increased competition, but keep in mind that in the interim you still have the same amount of pups coming through the system. I can only see there being more "wastage" of dogs as even fewer will win prizemoney.

Secondly, this report was to the NSW Parliament, for the Parliament to consider, not for the Premier to take unilateral action to arbitrarily remove the livelihoods of many thousands of participants, employees and allied support people attached to the industry.
And thirdly, I understand there is considerable wastage in the Egg Laying industry with under performing hens or birds not suited to laying ........being eaten. So, it would only be right and proper to ban all fried chicken stores and ban the raising of chickens.

GRNSW decision so everyone can have some time to evaluate the consequenses.

Can guarantee every trainer has been visited on multiple occasions.
Numerous investigations conducted today based on some issues in the NSW report.

Not sure what you`re implying SG.
1000`s of NSW trainers have never done a thing wrong in their life and are now effected by a knee jerk reaction to a Four Corners report that involved a minority.
Interesting that Vic and Qld can be reformed but NSW can`t.
